SOUTH ASIA- Justice-Peace-Democracy: Every now and then politicians and even ordinary people raise a hue and cry for peace, but always are unwilling to acknowledge the inter-linkages between justice, peace and substantive democracy. Peace can no more be explained away simply as the absence of war or the management of crisis. When the military junta continues to deny justice to millions in a country and silence dissenting voices and all major democratic governments in the region support that military junta, what peace and democracy are we talking about? Another nation justifies their progrom of ethnic cleansing in the name of security and wants the whole world to nod in approval. A `Just Peace’ in South Asia should be understood as a space for the enjoyment of the basic rights of all peoples in their respective contexts, as a fundamental value to be integrated in all programs for realizing peoples’ security, that is, security of food, shelter, health and livelihood in a non-hegemonic democratic regional order.
