What motivated you (or your organization) to become involved in peace and conflict resolution?

Starting from my faith in fundamental human rights , in the dignity and worth of the human person all over the world and at any time, anywhere and however he belong to . Having in mind a deep impact from the pain , extreme violence that my people in Iraq suffered and still suffer from, leads me to one conclusion peace and reconciliation is what I should work for, I know that there is no short cut or simple prescription for
healing the wounds and divisions of a society in the aftermath of sustained violence. I know that Creating trust
and understanding between former enemies is a supremely difficult challenge. It is, however, an
essential one to address in the process of building a lasting peace. Examining our painful past,
acknowledging it and understanding it, and above all transcending it together, is the best way to
guarantee that it does not – and cannot – happen again.
