Archbishop Desmond Tutu, The Hague, May 4, l998.
Development is another word for peace.
Dom Helder Camara, The Riverside Church, NY, December 7, l980. The Hague Appeal for Peace conference set new standards for civil society's consideration of peace and justice issues. First, we were determined to put the institution of war and the injustices that lead to violent conflict on the deconstruction table. It is no longer enough to examine one weapons system at a time and call for its elimination nor to only cite human rights abuses. While single issues are important, we see them as blocks to build the house of peace.
