Aims

The high-level aims of Agenda for Reconciliation are that healing the past becomes common practice in the 21st Century, and that global security considerations prioritize human security from want and oppression.

AfR is supporting local people in their efforts for nation-building, peace and reconciliation in many parts of the world.

The annual AfR conferences in Caux, Switzerland, have drawn people from over 60 countries in recent years. Many come from situations of tension or open conflict; others are struggling to rebuild their countries and communities after a period of conflict. Caux conferences contributed to the resolution of a number of significant conflicts over the years, including the independence struggles of Tunisia, Morocco, Nigeria, Kenya, Cyprus and Rhodesia / Zimbabwe. Since 2002, these conferences also deal with issues of good governance, human security and development, as the preventative approaches to conflict transformation.
