19-09-2017, Geneva
While defining Terrorism, Dipl.-Pol. Boris Wilke, a senior Researcher & Political Scientist at the Institute for Interdisciplinary Research on Conflict and Violence of the Bielefeld University in Germany, claimed that terrorism is a strategy and not a creed. Dipl.Pol. Wilke explained how in South Asia, promoting sectarianism and outsourcing military power as strategy has led to the growth of religious extremism which has eventually resulted in proxy wars which are a threat to global peace. He added that Jammu & Kashmir is an example in this regard. He further stated that Pakistan’s friendship with China is based on Realpolitik and not Moralpolitik. He ended his speech by emphasizing that developing localized and regionalized peace-justice equilibria between South Asian countries has become a necessity for global peace.
