  • 10. Deep and Shallow Restorative Peace
    10. Deep and shallow restorative peace Table 10.1 tentatively characterises Bougainville as a ‘restorative peace’ rather than the much more common phenomena of a ‘realist’ or ‘liberal peace’. A table like this might help us better see a conflict through a comparative lens, at the same time as it simplifies too much. Hence, in the conclusion to this chapter, we will reach the view that while Bougainville had a comparatively deep restorative peace locally, across the region that restorative peace was shallow. In particular, there remains a shallow regional reconciliation and a shallow integrity of regional truth on the question of honouring the outcome of the forthcoming referendum on independence for Bougainville. Table 10.2 characterises Bougainville as bottom-up for truth and reconciliation, which again is quite unusual compared with very common war settlements of non-truth and top-down reconciliation. Bougainville had no top-down truth commission such as we have seen in various Latin American countries, or a South African-style Truth and Reconciliation Commission. So we see Bougainville as a case of deep bottom-up reconciliation and shallow regional truth. Regional elites in Port Moresby, Canberra, Wellington and Jakarta and in the boardroom of BCL now have obligations to enliven the integrity of regional dialogue about the Bougainville peace agreement. 133 ReconciliationandArchitecturesofCommitment Table 10.1 Accomplishing peace through political settlement, legal justice and restorative justice How peace is Political Adjudicated

Because the Guam Environmental Protection Agency (GEPA) does not have primary regulatory responsibility for administering the NPDES permitting program, EPA Region 9 has primary regulatory responsibility for the discharge.

The permittee is currently discharging to the Apra Harbor under the NPDES permit No. GU0020346, which became effective on January 1, 2012, and expired on December 31, 2016.
