Third International Roundtable on Constructing Peace, Deconstructing Terror

Carolyn Perry recently attended the THIRD INTERNATIONAL ROUNDTABLE ON CONSTRUCTING PEACE, DECONSTRUCTING TERROR at the European Parliament, Brussels, 26-27 November 2006. 

The Roundtable, which looked at restructuring relations between the Western and Islamic Countries was co-hosted by Strategic Foresight Group and the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe, in cooperation with the Friedrich Naumann Stiftung and was endorsed by the League of Arab States.

Over two days, government ministers and officials from NGO’s across the world discussed such issues as the institution of a semi-permanent conference on the Middle East Peace, the creation of a Dialogue and Engagement Initiative in which a group of Western and Islamic leaders pursue specific conceptual and practical issues for building confidence between Western and Islamic countries, and an Arab and Islamic Renaissance Initiative.
