ARC (in conjunction with Aray) has just produced three CDs with new specifically composed World music (World Dialogue Sounds). These form part of the Nurturing ARC Series. A collection of some music, speeches and other writings concerning the ARC.

World Dialogue Sounds, created in 2004 by an African (Djigui Diabate from the Ivory Coast) and an Afro Caribbean (Karl Miller from Jamaica) , is a fusion of Revival Reggae, Jazz, World Music, Drum and Bass, Easy Listening, Rhythm and Blues (R&B), Soul, Tribal, Ethnic, Instrumental and Speech Rap genres. It is optimised for speech (but presents an excellent medium for singing, rapping and toasting) by removing some distracting and overbearing sounds. Created with modern computer software, it features simple loops of many instruments that require an orchestra or a large band for fine live rendition. The sounds generate soothing, sad, groovy and even party moods. The instrumentals are rich in variety of sound and can be used for discos, background music, sound effects, film moods creation or just chilling.

The UN is in Crisis over Africa (full all sections below)
    Preamble & Introduction ("the UN is in crisis is because over 4 million people have died in Africa in the last 6 years due to the conflicts and the effects of conventional arms… yet Africa does not produce many weapons…. yet incredibly, not one person has been prosecuted for supplying the weapons of their destruction and death of the 4 million in the last 6 years. It's like legalised aiding, abetting and facilitating mass slaughter) ,
    1 Give Up Armies,
    2 Stem The Tide - End the Conflicts Now, ("Many more will have to suffer, many more will have to die, don't ask me why" (Bob Marley).)
    3 Prosecute the Guilty,
   4 Collect and Destroy the Weapons,
   5 Effectively Implement Sanctions - Supplies to and Resources from Conflict Areas,
    6 Reduce resources spent on arms (It also amazes me how some very religious and moral people fight against contraception yet support and even invest in the arms industry. It is as if the investment in arms is so profitable that it overrides their beliefs, and the extra people are needed as cannon fodder or test subjects for the arms to be used to kill them),
    7 Implement UN Resolutions,
    8 Reform the UN Conference on Disarmament (CD),
   9 Get More Women Leaders,
    Summary ("It will be very sad for humanity; if in future historians look back on this period and conclude that the UN failed in its fundamental / primary tasks because the founders and reformers of the UN were naive or mistaken in the belief and hopes that such tasks were achievable due to the intrinsic shortcomings of the members of the Security Council (e.g. self interests, ideological differences, politics, they being the makers of most of the weapons in the world, their need to maintain power and control). The UN is charged with the very difficult task of making the Impossible possible (like Doctors tending the sick) – that of saving succeeding generations from the scourge of war. The well being of all is dependent on their success. I believe that despite the inherent difficulties, cynics, politicking and bad experiences of the past; the UN can be more successful in achieving peace in the future." )
