Civil Society As A Vital Peacemaker

Peace is an innate product of socialised human nature. It is essential to human beings’ need for their civilised life. There is no other vital choice than peace at a time of conflict engulfing the whole world. The creation of favourable conditions of equal freedom, dignity and opportunity for all persons in a world of zero-sum politics and economics is a vital task of civil society. Civil society emerges from virtuous deeds and acts. Their impulse breeds democratic aspiration and serves the needy. Its civic disposition helps realise the positive nature of human will reconciling different worldviews, interests, attitudes and conduct, discovering common ground, easing the flow of communication, building solidarity and shaping shared interest to make human life peaceful.
