You mean, "What does 'aras' mean in English?"
I think you should have typed
En aras de la paz...
En aras de means 'for the sake of'', 'in honor of' - it depends on context.
So the phrase might mean,
"For the sake of the peace...", "In honor of the peace..."

The dictionary definition says, in part, "en aras de -> for the sake of " - Moe, Nov 29, 2011
