Title	Regional Introduction: Creating Peace in the Pacific???Conflict Resolution, Reconciliation, and Restorative Justice
URL	http://www.conflict-prevention.net/pag...
Description	Overseas governments have a record of sending police and military forces to the Pacific Islands to assist in peacemaking and peacekeeping operations. The latest intervention in the Solomon Islands comes after a series of violent conflicts in recent decades - small by global standards but significant for small island developing states. But armed conflicts like those in Bougainville, West Papua, and the Solomon Islands are not the norm in the region. This chapter looks at the sources of conflict in the Pacific region, and highlights efforts by Pacific church, women's, and community groups to promote peacemaking, reconciliation, self-determination, and restorative justice.
