ABSTRACT Following the definition presented by Paige, nonkilling refers to the absence of killing, threats to kill, and conditions conducive to killing in human society. How can education contribute to bringing about such societies? As the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) called upon the global community to ‘significantly reduce all forms of violence and related death rates everywhere’ by 2030, a growing need exists to understand the educational measures and transformations relevant to building societies where human killing is greatly reduced and eventually absent. Just as scholars, practitioners and policy-makers in other areas have had to rethink their impact in contributing to this global goal, in 2015 the “Vasa Statement on Education for Killing-Free Societies” was adopted, proposing concrete recommendations. The articles put together in this special issue of the Journal of Peace Education provide grounds to sustain the crucial role of education in curving the global epidemic of lethal violence.

Nonkilling 101 — 非杀戮的社会可能吗？

摘要 根据佩奇提出的定义，非杀戮是指人类社会中没有杀戮、杀戮威胁和有利于杀戮的条件。教育如何有助于建立这样的社会？由于联合国可持续发展目标 (SDG) 呼吁国际社会到 2030 年“显着减少世界各地的所有形式的暴力和相关死亡率”，因此越来越需要了解与建设以杀戮为目的的社会相关的教育措施和变革。大大减少，最终消失。正如其他领域的学者、从业者和政策制定者不得不重新考虑他们为实现这一全球目标所产生的影响一样，2015 年通过了“无杀戮社会教育瓦萨声明”，提出了具体建议。
