Violence in the Shadow of International Law

The numerous worldwide conflicts supported by nationalism, mythology, ethnic chauvinism and religious extremism as a mobilizing ideology has created an explosive, dangerous, and traumatic global environment in which multiethnic/religious cooperation is vigorously and bloodily contested. In the absence of the defining struggle for global democratic order, the international community is left with a fluid, fragmented and old-fashioned struggle against the interracial, interreligious and intercultural hatred and animosity, generating an new multiple threats more likely to explode into global escalation of clash of civilizations, with dramatic consequences for humankind. Major problem with logic of the ¿ethnic/religious security dilemmä is not only fear of attack but primarily disagreements about who would control disputed ¿holy¿ pieces of land. Lack of clear idea regarding of the ethnic-religious conflict resolution has lead to failure to establish clear model of multiethnic/religious dialogue, that could generate effective influence on relationship between ethnic/religious groups in disputed regions.
