Yes, I agree that a movement in one country can help with general principles, on any issue. But I'm wary of imposing things from one country to another - an effective movement for any sort of social change has to be home-grown. Nobody knows how to do things in your country better than people from your country, and this applies to any sort of political moveme ...[text shortened]... peace movement in mine, then we all have to accept that this is ok.
IMO = In my opinion.
Could they plan and implement something on an international scale ?

Yes, they'd need to have co-ordinated activities on an international scale.
This might mean some kind of international federation, or some such structure was needed.
I just don't think they should impose their way of doing things in another country.

I'm just expressing my view that there is no one-size-fits-all peace movement. We need to accept different ways of doing things from different people.
