Synopsis

This report explores the critical link between peace and democracy, prompted by global acts of terrorism and Middle Eastern unrest. Nobel laureate Amartya Sen introduces the discussion by challenging common explanations for violence, advocating for a global dialogue on conflict's roots and the diverse identities of those involved. Drawing from the Commonwealth Commission on Respect and Understanding, the report 'Civil Paths to Peace' urges governments, media, and educators to understand the complexities of violent behavior without preconceived notions.
