Agenda for Reconciliation: Peacebuilding in the Middle East

Peacebuilding in the Middle East

With Initiatives of Change, CRDC co-sponsored a conference in Caux, Switzerland entitled ‘Agenda for Reconciliation,’ which brings together numerous groups from several regions of conflict. For seven days in August 2004, signatories of the Geneva Accord, as well as a number of Israeli and Palestinian civil society activists met with CRDC board members Zainab al-Suwaij, Patrice Brodeur, Robert Eisen, Libby Hoffman, and Joseph Montville, as well as ICAR faculty member Kevin Avruch and ICAR student Adina Friedman. The conference was on the future of the Geneva Accord, and relations between Palestine and Israel with particular reference to religion.
