SGI has non-governmental organization (NGO) status with the United Nations. In that capacity, the SGI president Daisaku Ikeda submits a Peace Proposal to the United Nations annually on the anniversary of the SGI’s founding — January 26, 1975. Daisaku Ikeda has written extensively on topics ranging from issues concerning human rights and dignity to conflict resolution. In his annual peace proposals over the past 16 years, he reviews the state of the world and contributes suggestions of practical initiatives as viable responses grounded in the Buddhist philosophy.
