Documentation of the “Reconciling Histories!?” Conference, organised by the Centre for Nonviolent Action Sarajevo/Belgrade, that was held in Sarajevo from 15th to 17th May, with a one-day study visit to Zavidovići (Bosnia and Herzegovina) on 16th May. The conference brought together peace and human rights activists, peace work researchers, reporters and historians from various countries with war and post war experience,
ranging from India and Sri Lanka, the Balkans, Ukraine and Georgia, all the way to Western Europe. The choice of peace and human rights activists, peace work researchers, reporters and historians was not haphazard. Rather, it reflected an identified need for linking the fragmented work in this area, or at least bringing its actors into dialogue, because everyone can give significant contribution in their own way to building, or to dismantling peace. That is the task of social reconciliation, a task for broad and diverse social groups that is certainly one of the foundations for a successful reconciliation process.
