For 26 years the peacekeeping humanistic ideas of Nicholas Roerich, the world-famous Great Russian artist, thinker, scientist and public figure have been established by the International Centre of the Roerichs at the non-governmental level among the widest ranges of public. By contributing to the dissemination of ideas of peace and fostering a culture of peace the International Centre of the Roerichs became the largest and leading organization on preservation of the world cultural heritage in keeping with the Roerich Pact ideas – the outstanding peacekeeping initiative of Nicholas Roerich. The Roerich Pact is the first international treaty on protection of the cultural heritage in time of armed conflicts and time of peace. It was signed in Washington in 1935 by representatives of 21 countries of the North and South America in presence of the USA President Franklin Roosevelt. While signing the Pact the USA President Franklin Roosevelt said: “Proposing this Pact for signing to the people of the world, we forward ourselves to the usage of the most important principles of the modern civilization protection. This treaty has a much deeper spiritual meaning, than it is written on the paper”. 
In 2012 at the UNESCO headquarters in Paris the International Centre of the Roerichs launched the international cultural and educational exhibition project “The Roerich Pact. History and Modernity” under the auspices of UNESCO, Ministry of Culture of the Russian Federation (under the former Minister of Culture A.A.Avdeev) supported by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation. It was coincided with the 80th anniversary of the Roerich Pact widely celebrated in 2015. Project goals: ● reminding of prominent antiwar public initiative of Nicholas Roerich, the great Russian artist, scientist and public figure, dedicated to signing of the first international treaty on protection of the world cultural heritage in time of wars and peace (the Roerich Pact), which had laid the foundations of the international legal system of safeguarding the cultural heritage of mankind; ● promoting consolidation of efforts of the international public in support of culture and peace based on the principal antiwar idea of the Roerich Pact – “Peace through Culture”.
