Preface
Reconciliation is an important component of conflict resolution and peacebuilding. It is related to the crucial elements of conflict transformation where dialogue between those individuals, groups and/or entire nations involved in violent conflict is necessary to bring about peace and harmony through understanding of the core reasons for conflict and disharmony.
