Furthermore, research and dialogue support the view that young people can make huge contributions to peace through meaningful involvement and their active participation. A new chapter for peace would address the issue of how young people can contribute to peace and development in their respective schools, communities and the country at large. A new chapter for peace would require new partnership with young people for peace, stability and development; this in turn would require mutual accountability framework and transparency. Dialogue among peace messengers indicate that if young people should be part of the new chapter for peace, they should be given concrete role in the implementation of peace programmes. Until next week when we dialogue on ‘A New Chapter for Peace-Part 3, Peace above all else, Peace first, May Peace prevail.
