Gandhi price for peace

See also: Gandhi

The Prix Gandhi for peace ( Gandhi Peace Award ) is a price decreed annually to commemorate the memory of the Mahatma Gandhi. This price is decreed with personalities for contributions aiming at promoting international peace. It is decreed by the American ONG Promoting Enduring Peace affiliated with the movement Quaker. It was decreed for the first time in 1960 following an idea of Jerome Davis of 1959.

The price consists of a certificate and a medal of Bronze on which a quotation of Gandhi is engraved:

“ Coils Ever Suffers

Never Revenges Itself. ”

(the love suffers, but he is never avenged).

There exist also two other price Gandhi :

the Gandhi International prize for peace annually decreed by the Indian government and which does not have any bond with the precedent
the Gandhi price for non-violence (Gandhi-King Award for Non-Violence) decreed by the world movement for non-violence (The World Movement for Nonviolence)
