The GHfP Institute is a partner of the annual Conference on the Resolution of Intractable Conference. The 2024 CRIC was held on 23– 25 September in Harris Manchester College, University of Oxford. This was the 11th Annual Conference which took place amid deepening concerns about the deteriorating geopolitical tensions. Hence the theme of 2024 CRIC was “Ending Wars” to address two perspectives –
- Exploring whether it is possible that out of the immediate worldwide crises of war and climate catastrophe a new approach can be fashioned to deal with our deepest differences, as was the case, albeit not permanently, after the two global conflicts of the first half of the 20th century.
- Reflecting on if we are to understand how the current specific and overlapping wars can be closed down.
Minerva, the Roman goddess of war was used as a symbol of CRIC 2024. She is also of goddess of wisdom, art, justice and commerce. Can we bring wisdom to bear on the problem of war?
