A Dialogue for Change by Clay Constantinou A Dialogue for Change by Clay Constantinou In an address to the United Nations General Assembly in September 1998, President Mohammed Khatami of Iran put forth an urgent call for a “dialogue among civiliza- tions,” with the hope that this endeavor would begin a process to replace hostility and confrontation with discourse and understanding. Following President Khatami’s proposal, the General Assembly unanimously pro- claimed 2001 as the UN Year of Dialogue among Civilizations. To further support this dialogue, Secretary-General Kofi Annan has invited an international panel of eminent persons to look closely at issues of identity, diversity, and intergroup rela- tions, and has designated former chief United Nations hostage negotiator and under- secretary-general Giandomenico Picco as his personal representative to lead this ef- fort. Mr. Picco and the panel of eminent persons are working in close partnership with the School of Diplomacy and International Relations, which was designated as the Secretariat for this initiative. This process of research and international discourse will result in an important publication, which will be presented to Secretary-General Kofi Annan. The secretary-general will then convey this publication to the UN General Assembly at a special session on December 3 and 4, 2001. We are pleased to publish in this issue Mr. Picco’s reflections on the dialogue among civilizations as he leads this historic process forward. The School of Diplomacy and International Relations is deeply honored to pub- lish the contributions of the distinguished authors in our special section on Evolving Institutions and Transatlantic Relations. As influential and prominent government leaders of the European Union and the United States, they offer a unique insight into how cooperation can be achieved across the Atlantic. This has been a truly extraordinary year for the School of Diplomacy. Our stu- dent body, representing more than forty countries and speaking more than thirty languages, has grown to nearly 250 strong. Whether serving as a forum for heads of state or working with the United Nations as an affiliated nongovernmental organiza- tion, our school has gained much prestige and recognition. We will continue to en- hance our programs and to provide a high-quality and well-rounded learning envi- ronment for our students. Amb. Clay Constantinou (Ret.) is dean of the School of Diplomacy and International Relations at Seton Hall University. 4 Seton Hall Journal of Diplomacy and International Relations A Dialogue among Civilizations 400 South Orange Avenue McQuaid Hall South Orange, NJ 07079 by Giandomenico Picco Tel: 973-275-2515 • Fax: 973-275-2519 E-mail: [email protected] Web: http://diplomacy.shu.edu It took me a very short time to understand why the United Nations membership quickly reached a consensus in Fall 1998 when it declared 2001 the UN Year of Dialogue among Civilizations. Doubtless, my understanding had little to do with the The School of Diplomacy and International Relations was established in alliance with the United Nations Association of the United States of America.

As one of the six billion inhabitants of this Editor in Chief planet, I can claim at least as much life experience as any.

What was ethnic cleansing if not the igno- blasphemies committed during the 1990s by individuals who perceived and still per- minious manifestation of a mindset that perceives diversity as a threat? But the sim- ceive diversity and “otherness” as a threat to them. No need, therefore, to be plicity of this answer was hidden behind political explanations, historical account- deconstructed by a semantic conversation on what is a civilization and what is not; ings, institutional analyses, and religious theories. As it turned out, they were all lies, even less to count how many civilizations there are, have been, and will continue to or, to be kinder, cover-ups for the decisions made by the only entity on earth that can be. The focus of the dialogue, I thought, had to be quite clear, and yet practical; quite employ rational faculties in support of its choices: the human individual. I walked touchable, and yet ethical; quite visible, and yet conceptual. To this day, I do not through the battlefields of the Balkans in 1994, as I had walked for different reasons know if this can be achieved or whether the contribution I will try to make through and in different capacities through the streets of Beirut some years earlier, and the the opportunity offered to me by the secretary-general will actually reach the destina- valleys of Afghanistan several years before that. In vain I looked for the “killing hand tion I would like it to. Nevertheless, I will pursue what I believe is the focus and of history,” “the raping arm of culture,” the “destructive boot of institutions,” or the simple objective: the dialogue may well have to be one simply between those who “mutilating fist of religion.” They were nowhere to be found.
