Pacifism is opposition to war, militarism, or violence. The word pacifism was coined by the French peace campaigner Ãmile Arnaud (1864â1921) and adopted by other peace activists at the tenth Universal Peace Congress in Glasgow in 1901.[1] A related term is ahimsa (to do no harm), which is a core philosophy in Buddhism, Jainism, and Hinduism.
