Justice and participation are key values of today

In a discussion today about armed conflicts, rebellions, terrorist activity and violence in general, the issues of injustice and human insecurity did not receive enough attention. They should be at the centre of the preoccupations. People want to feel safe, that´s a very basic and fundamental feeling. And in today´s world there is also a lot of attention being paid to social justice. We all want to see good behaviour being rewarded and bad actions being punished, including all abuses of power and political office. Related to that, no one wants to feel he or she does not matter. People want to be taken into account. They want to see inclusion as a guiding value and to have the opportunity to participate, to be heard. Everyone should matter, that´s the way presently we see the world. Exclusion is an injustice, in the eyes of today´s younger generations. And it is not accepted.
