The world is becoming more aware that the traditional methods used to end violent conflicts are rarely effective in the long run. The ill-fitting solution used to end one war inevitably becomes the seed and lifeblood of the next. We can see the unsolved past in the odd and unworkable boundaries that separate nations, creative scribbles drawn on maps in an effort to preserve the peace. But is that type of peace sustainable? Armistices with clear victors and demoralized losers are often delayed beginnings; the deep wounds that are buried rather than healed often resurface within one or two generations with ferocious strength and stamina.
Leah Green is one woman working for more effective solutions to resolving conflicts, even the big ones. She began her work in the 1980s with perhaps the...
. . .
...reciprocity. This all helps create a climate and build a foundation for peace. There is no military solution. We must continue our work to build real bridges between these two peoples who ultimately want the same thing: security, justice, and lasting peace."
