مسار تقويمي في التعامل مع الماضي

The past plays a significant role in conflicts. How actors experience and perceive previous events shapes collective identities and determines the structure of disputes. In order to peacefully transform conflict, it is thus essential to understand the history of past violence as well as its representation and impact on peoples’ lives in the present.
Dealing with the past stands for all measures aimed at constructively addressing the past, such as truth seeking, dialogues on competing historical narratives, or the acknowledgment of wrongdoing. It is a holistic process, which may span generations and requires analysis and action on many different levels; both personal and public dimensions must be addressed along with the integration of victims, perpetrators and bystanders.​
