In 1986 Barbara Holt of the United Nations International Year of Peace Aotearoa Committee took up this idea, and with the help of Justine Merritt who happened to be visiting friends in New Zealand at the time, launched a successful publicity campaign for the project. The Peace Ribbon was a prelude to United Nations Disarmament Week which took place from 25 October to 2 November 1986. (Information from Peacelink, February 1987, p9). Quantity: 1 album(s) Album(s).
