Importance of Restorative and Transformative Justice

Could Transformative Models of Mediation and Restorative Justice Have Made a Difference?

By Grace E. Reed

On Nov.30th a young man, Maurice Clemmons, was shot to death after he shot 4 cops in a coffee shop near Seattle, Washington. Of course it made headlines, (CNN) evoked controversy, and brought out the best and worst of many people with opinions and questions. The main question that seemed to be asked over and over in media and in personal circles was, “Why was he out on… Continue

Article Restorative Justice

Am I a Thug Hugger?

by

Grace E. Reed

negotiatingshadows.com

I was giving a lecture on the work I did in a Juvenile Justice center and was trying to persuade the audience on the importance of restorative justice using transformative models of mediation and negotiation. After the lecture a man came up to me and said, “This soft on crime thing keeps more gangs on the streets. You thug huggers don’t help.” I thanked him and started to research what a ‘thug hugger’… Continue

Yemen - the next target for the War on Terror?

“Somebody in our government said to me in Sana’a, the capital of Yemen, Iraq was yesterday’s war. Afghanistan is today’s war. If we don’t act pre-emptively, Yemen will be tomorrow’s war,” (Sen. Joseph Lieberman, I-Conn.)

A New Way to Defeat Extremists: Fighting Terrorism and the failed Plot Aboard Flight 253

A New Way to Defeat Extremists: Fighting Terrorism and the failed Plot Aboard Flight 253

Stephen Oola

President Barack Obama has demonstrated unprecedented maturity and civility in his response to fighting terrorism or violent extremisms, especially in the wake of the botched terrorist bombing on Christmas Day 2009 aboard flight 253. In sharp contrasts to the customary post-September 11 approach of the Bush administration, where the former president would immediately appear on… Continue

The Power of Forgiveness

With the turbulent times that we are all experiencing, how do we comfort ourselves? Outer worlds are falling apart and for many a new journey begins as we look elsewhere, within ourselves, to find the comfort the outer world has taken away. Where this inner searching takes us is different for each one of us but the catalyst for its beginning is usually very similar.

How do we tap into this inner peace and is there something that resides deep within ourselves that is available 24/7… Continue

Obama made one peace try but Doves didn’t cheer

Sharia Law was established in the Swat Valley, but neither doves nor hawks cheered.

One unlikely way for the US to exit Afghanistan would be for Obama to announce it, then leave, as Sharia Law mixed with chaos and revenge killing grip Kabul. Of course hawks are in the way of this happening but US doves don’t want to sign on to the US participating in less then Western Justice either. Despite the fact that an orderly end to the war is possible only with a cease fire and US… Continue

Türkiye' nin Geleceği için Yurttaş Diplomasisi

Böyle gelmiş böyle gidecek demeyenler bilirler ki, birşeyleri değiştirmek istiyorsanız önce siz adım atmalısınız. Eleştirmek her zaman yararlıdır ama çözüm önerisi getirmeyen eleştiriler yapıcı değildir ve etkili olamazlar. Türkiye’de yaşayan her yurttaşın, hayatı boyunca çeşitli haksızlıklara, yanlışlıklara ve çifte standarda maruz kalmış olması yüksek ihtimal dahilinde olduğu gibi, ülkemizin de uluslararası alanda türlü haksızlıklar ve çifte standarda maruz kaldığını rahatlıkla… Continue

The intention of this blog is to begin a dialogue which will help us learn how to grow in consciousness and forgiveness and to understand what this looks like from a spiritual, psychological and neuropsychological perspective.

For the next few weeks I will be sharing some of my thoughts on forgiveness and how it touches not only… Continue

Singing for Peace

By Shaheen Buneri

While the areas along the Pak-Afghan border are in the grip of war and violence, and the socio-cultural heritage of the Pashtuns is subjected to a ruthless onslaught from different militant groups, the young and educated Pashto singers show guts to openly challenge the rising tide of terrorism and religious fundamentalism in their musical expressions.

Rondine’s 14 points for peace in the caucasus
