Simon Hughes; MP and co-chair of the All Party Parliamentary Group on Conflict Issues gives the keynote address at Rewley House for the start of the 2012 OxPeace Conference: Disciplines of Peace.
Simon Hughes speaks about the aim of APPCGI 'to challenge traditional attitudes held in Parliament and HMG towards conflict', by shifting focus to improving resource allocation and increasing capacity for early-warning and conflict prevention initiatives, and moving toward 'an integrated top-down/bottom up approach with stronger involvement of local peace builders.'
