| Building a Future on Peace and Justice Finland, Germany and Jordan will host, from 25 to 27 June 2007, in Nuremberg, a high-ranking international Conference, the topic being "Building a Future on Peace and Justice". The Conference's objective is to show, on the basis of practical experiences gathered from many parts of the world, how to constructively deal with tensions that can arise – at least at short term – between "peace" and "justice". Conflicts between "peace" and "justice" may arise for example when warlords offer peace only at the price of a blanket amnesty, or when the competing demands of reconstructing the security, justice and other developmental sectors complicate the reconstruction process. Further organizers of the Conference are the Crisis Management Initiative (CMI), which is headed by one of the world's most experienced negotiators, former Finnish President Martti Ahtisaari, as well as the International Center for Transitional Justice (ICTJ), New York. The Conference will be sponsored by the Robert Bosch Foundation, the Dräger Foundation and will be subsidized by the Federal Government. Other cooperation partners are the Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung, GTZ, and further civil society organizations, including such from abroad. write your comments about the article :: © 2007 Exhibition News :: home page |
