NONVIOLENCE TOWARDS YOURSELF

^{Explanation to Question 17:}
There are a number of groups that support unarmed civilian peacekeeping in the form of teams of trained civilians who provide security, moral support and mutual contacts to help local communities prevent the escalation of violent conflict and/or contribute to the reconciliation process . Some examples of organizations are: Peace Brigades International (PBI), Community Peacemaker teams (CPT) and Nonviolent Peaceforce (NP).
Restorative Justice is only focused on the process after conflicts have occurred, but it is also inspiring to learn about, because it is based on restoring relationships, rather than punishing ‘perpetrators’. This gives a different view of the legal system and prisons, for example.
