World Order after the Lebanon War
We should take care not tooverlook the extent to which war is becoming dysfunctional. The Lebanon War is likely to be remembered not for the birth pains of 'a new Middle East'  (Condoleezza Rice), but as the death throes of a system of world order that accepted war as the inevitable basis of  stability and change in relations among sovereign states.

The expanding might of UN peacekeeping
With Lebanon, the UN is now back in favor as everyone's  favourite peacekeeper, having recovered from the setbacks of the early 1990s when for different reasons it fell on its  face in Rwanda, Bosnia and Somalia.

Time to rethhink the Balfour Declaration
Perhaps it is time if not to re-write the Balfour  declaration, at least to re-direct it, back to Europe from  whence most Jewish settlers in Israel have come. For do we really want to end up living like the besieged Israelis with  an angry Islam world? For surely it is going to get worse,  now that George W. Bush and Tony Blair have ratcheted up the  degree of confrontation with their counterproductive  policies in Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, the Lebanon, and the  central problem itself, Israel/Palestine...

Open  Letter to Jan Eliasson
President  of the UN General Assembly
Uniting  for Peace: Strengthen the General Assembly

 The board of the Transnational Foundation, TFF sends an Open Letter that aims to stimulate  discussion
 about the preconditions for a genuine peace process also after UN Security Council Resolution 1701.  

 Plan a comprehensive all-inclusive OSCE-like Middle East  conference under UN leadership.
 Implement Security Council resolutions on the Middle East  as a Nuclear-Free Zone.
Involve civil society,  push reconciliation. And give the UN a clear  mandate and adequate resources.
 This - not  bombs, extremism and hate - can help peace break  out in the region.

Please support this constructive proposal

What  does professionalization in peace research  mean?
A path-breaking analysis - with autobiographical inputs - of  how to move beyond the dichotomy between government  "Realism" and civil society organizations/peace movements  "Idealism." Deals also with the code of conduct and  accountability of the peace reseacrcher/worker and the  parallel with the health worker.
Destined to become another Galtung classic.

And we work on the ground in Burundi:
Appeal  for an Open Center for Peace and Reconciliation  !
Thirteen of the best Burundian NGOs - youth, women, teachers, media, scholars, former militaries, etc -  have joined forces to set up the first ever  learning center in support of one of the world's  most promising - but internationally unknown - peace processes.
This is your 2006 people-to-people peace project.  It's a TFF-initiated project. Do something positive  today: read, spread the message and donate!
Even  the smallest support will make a huge difference  for these 7 million people!
