Promoting peace, not war

Ein Konferenzbeitrag von Beate Roggenbuck, Auszug:

There is significant uncertainty as to whether the instruments of civil conflict management, diplomacy and negotiations are still effective. We are confronted with a crisis of the international order. Following Russia's invasion of Ukraine in violation of international law, we are experiencing a rapid political paradigm shift, driven by leading politicians and reinforced by the media, which describes a peace policy based on reconciliation and negotiation as naive or often polemically devalues it. In just two years, the coordinates of peace and security policy have shifted massively. It seems as if we have returned to Cold War thinking, its logic of deterrence and its dichotomous images of the enemy.
