Today, 29 January, the Security Council will hold an open debate that starts at 10:00 am EST (we can watch it on un tv webtv.un.org/) on war. War, its lessons, and the search for a permanent peace. Jordan, the president of the Security Council this month, has initiated the debate with the principal focus being national reconciliation … how group perceptions of history influence national reconciliation and the significance of facilitating a shared understanding of the truth. A shared narrative is needed in contrast to the differing group perceptions of a civil conflict which often will persist well into the post conflict phase. Let us remember that we can help to make the meeting more effective by holding the meeting in good thought, in our prayers and meditations, in the center of the stillness surrounded by silence.
