Peacemaking

With a long history of armed conflicts and insecurity in Uganda and the entire Great Lakes Region,Uganda Peace Foundation is organising an International Conference on Peace and Security.The purpose of the event is to craft concrete practical solutions to prevent conflicts and insecurity including terrorism in the region and the entire world.Relative to terrorism if we can generate solutions in harmony with what the former US President George W.Bush said, it would be a big success.He said,"......I think you can create condtions so that those who use terror as a tool are less acceptable in parts of the world."(Bush,2004).

The theory and practice of nonviolence includes a wide variety of philosophies, theologies, practices, and strategies. What does the future hold for these? The goal of this one day conference is to address questions such as these by considering the future of nonviolence. In order to enhance the discussion, we are seeking presentations from a variety of academic disciplines. Both theoretical and practical considerations are welcome.
