QUOTES
If
we work together, we can find solutions. We should not accept
any excuses from those in power. Peace is a question of will.
Wars
and conflicts are not inevitable. They are caused by human beings.
There are always interests that are furthered by war. Therefore
those who have power and influence can also stop them.
Peace
is a question of will. All conflicts can be settled, and there
are no excuses for allowing them to become eternal. It is simply
intolerable that violent conflicts defy resolution for decades
causing immeasurable human suffering, and preventing economic
and social development.
In
a conflict, one party can always claim victory, but building peace
must involve everybody: the weak and the powerful, the victors
and the vanquished, men and women, young and old.
The
only people that can make peace are the parties to the conflict,
and just as they are responsible for the conflict and its consequences,
so should they be given responsibility and recognition for the
peace.
