The lack of serious interest in the West for human rights concerns in Africa and Western rivalry with the BRICS powers function as a green light for violence as political and military elites fuel local antagonisms in the interest of the economic market and international relations.


The aftermath of genocide in Rwanda illustrates the necessity of reconciliation versus the economic inconvenience of civil liberties.


Phil Clark is a Professor of International Politics at SOAS University of London. He specialises in conflict and post-conflict issues, transitional justice, peacebuilding and reconciliation.

Op verzoek van The Hague Peace Projects vertelt hij in deze video over de "oude" vredesbeweging: waar hij in de jaren tachtig samen met zijn actiekameraad Hans Straeter bedacht om minister-president Lubbers massaal de rug toe te keren tijdens de aanbieding van het Volkspetitionnement (3,7 miljoen handtekeningen).


In 1986 bedacht en organiseerde hij - ook samen met Hans Straeter en met stevige hulp van radicale Brabantse vredesactivisten - een "menselijke ketting" rond de vliegbasis Woensdrecht.


Dit tegen de grote gevestigde vredesorganisaties in, die zichzelf in hun zogenoemde "slaapstand" hadden gesust! Het vredesgerichte bobo-establishment (KKN, IKV, Pax Christy, Mient-Jan Faber, Maarten van Traa, e.a.) had aldus in al haar wijsheid besloten...


De menselijke ketting rond de Woensdrechtse hekken werd desondanks een groot succes - wereldnieuws: met rond 20.000 vrolijke demonstranten, vele sprekers en... precies op de start van het podiumprogramma: een kring om de zon!


Wellicht luisterde de Russische president Gorbatsjov óók naar onze westerse vredesbeweging...?

In elk geval: die kruisraketten kwamen hier toen niet!

The interview unfolds Muhanad’s story in layers: his family’s forced displacement in 1948, his childhood in Deheisha refugee camp, the realities of Israeli apartheid policies in the West Bank, and his firsthand experiences of military incursions. It ends with a look at the hope he continues to plant through the Olive Tree Campaign.

 

This conversation is more than testimony - it is a testament to resilience, resistance, and the fight to keep hope alive. Recorded ahead of Nakba Day 2025, it reminds us that behind every statistic, there is a life lived, a memory held, and a story that must be heard.

This interview was recorded during an event of Plant an Olive Tree at Pakhuis de Zwijger in Amsterdam, titled “From the West Bank to Gaza: The Ongoing Erasure.”

Many of these thoughts make us aware of the specific Western context in which international law has been developed and its flaws. Compared to Western philosophies, non-Western thought seems to care more for community rather than an exclusive focus on the individual. It tends to have more respect for all life and nature itself because it presents a more holistic and interconnected universe, as opposed to an alienated, alone human individual in a disconnected world. We can learn a lot from these philosophies and see where Western thinking and actions have become extremely violent, beyond the point where it can be accepted as normal.
