I Remain Convinced That Most Human Conflicts Can Be Solved Through Genuine Dialogue Conducted With A Spirit Of Openness And Reconciliation.

Our World And Our Lives Have Become Increasingly Interdependent, So When Our Neighbour Is Harmed, It Affects Us Too. Therefore We Have To Abandon Outdated Notions Of 'them' And 'us' And Think Of Our World Much More In Terms Of A Great 'us', A Greater Human Family.
