Welcome to the celebration for peace! (NonViolenceProject)
Mexico City has been recognized as an International Capital of Non-Violence for its programs to promote voluntary disarmament and create a culture of peace and respect by the Non-Violence Project Foundation, or NVP.
The honor was bestowed on the Mexican capital on Saturday by the NVP, which counts celebrities like Yoko Ono and musician Ringo Starr among its supporters.
The former Beatle, who is touring Mexico for a series of concerts, was expected to attend Saturday's awards ceremony, but he was unable to attend.
Mexico City Mayor Miguel Angel Mancera accepted the award and said the capital won mainly because of social programs such as Por tu Familia (For Your Family) and Desarme Voluntario (Voluntary Disarmament).
