I have heard that Costa Rica began identifying with peace when its army was abolished in 1948. How does Costa Rica get along without an army?
Costa Rica has an extraordinary sense of purpose in regards to modeling peace to the world. For example, in 2006, our founder, Rita Marie Johnson wrote an initiative for a Ministry for Peace in Costa Rica that was based on the collective wisdom of those involved in the Rasur Foundation. It was embraced by the President and is now a bill before the Legislative Assembly that will pass very soon, as it has no opposition.
