The conflict in Ireland lasted for over a 100 years. <\/span><\/p>\n

Gary lived through at least 30 of it, 1960 \u2013 1990 apx<\/span><\/p>\n

The population of Northern Ireland is 1.5 million people.<\/span><\/p>\n

There are 3 types of peace processes:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Sri Lanka- a military peace process<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. South Africa \u2013 colonial changes. Not a win-win situation for all sides.<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. The good Friday agreement in Ireland \u2013 win- win situation <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Humiliation is terrorism!!!<\/span><\/p>\n

    People make choices in a geographical context. <\/span><\/p>\n

    Why leaders choose political violence?! -Politicians have a short-term vision. What we should aspire towards is: <\/span>long term legacy society agreement.<\/b><\/p>\n

    The challenges of the Good Friday Agreement:<\/span><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Prisoners release<\/span><\/li>\n
    2. Reform the police<\/span><\/li>\n
    3. Decommission of weapons<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Social peace process means:<\/b><\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Telling the truth and reconciliation<\/span><\/li>\n
      2. New forms of memory work<\/span><\/li>\n
      3. Words are really important<\/span><\/li>\n
      4. Words of healing<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        (words, not machines, that created Auschwitz)<\/span><\/p>\n

        There are 3 ways to resolve a conflict:<\/span><\/p>\n

          \n
        1. Genocide \u2013 annihilation<\/span><\/li>\n
        2. Random victims, on occasion <\/span><\/li>\n
        3. Peace making and negotiation<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          Stopping the cycle of violence have passed from generation to generation. <\/span><\/p>\n

          What women are bringing to the table?!<\/b><\/p>\n

            \n
          • Being the voice of sanity, in different situations, in various places and locations in the public space. <\/span><\/li>\n
          • Peace processes are definitely more just, when women are present. This have been proven academically. <\/span><\/li>\n
          • While men fighters sit and negotiate, they are aiming for a military solution, women bring true care for society on issues like health, education and people. <\/span><\/li>\n
          • Women create a more sustainable peace solution. <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

            Life is a series of 100 chances, you only need to take one. \u00a0(Under the Tuscan Sun)<\/span><\/p>\n

            The three biggest conflicts of the 20iest century are:<\/span><\/p>\n

            Northern Ireland<\/span><\/p>\n

            South Africa<\/span><\/p>\n

            Israel \u2013 Palestine<\/span><\/p>\n

            We are living in the most unstable region in the world. <\/span><\/p>\n

            The only way to find out if we have a partner, is to engage with the partner.<\/span><\/p>\n

            Take risks.<\/span><\/p>\n

            Have uncomfortable conversations.<\/span><\/p>\n

            In Ireland, women were the social glue, that kept the society together (before the end of the conflict). The women coalition had softened the right-hand politicians and brought compassion, which was absolutely crucial. <\/span><\/p>\n

            The hunger strikes of 1981, as part of the military struggle, led to the realization for the need to move towards political agreement. <\/span><\/p>\n

            Always remember: dehumanization leads to Genocide.<\/b><\/p>\n

            Seeing the totality of life which isn\u2019t about national identity. There is no secured solution to our conflict, but the totality of life is beyond that. <\/b><\/p>\n

            The role of mediators in negotiation: <\/span><\/p>\n

            We cannot resolve it on our own, therefore, there os a need for a third party to be involved. <\/span><\/p>\n

            Forgiveness<\/b>:<\/span><\/p>\n

            It is a painful process. It is a long process, and it comes at the end and not at the beginning, <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
