Lyse Doucet, Tom Fletcher and Oliver McTernan talk to Arthur Denaro
Imagine… Democracy: Post Conflict Reconciliation
Hay Festival 2022,
The reconstruction after two World Wars was pre-planned by the Allies and carried out with huge drive and commitment, leading to a reconciliation between the warring nations that has endured. But since then, we have witnessed the tragic fallout of too many civil and international conflicts. In the Congo and Rwanda, in Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Libya, Yemen, Israel and Palestine, the former Yugoslavia and now, dismayingly, in Ukraine. The panel discuss the reasons behind these failures and look at how reconciliation can be achieved. Lyse Doucet is the BBC’s Chief International Correspondent; Tom Fletcher was UK Ambassador in Lebanon; Oliver McTernan has a background in conflict resolution and interfaith relationships. They talk to Major General Arthur Denaro.
