Martti Ahtisaari: Opening Words at 'Use and Abuse of History in Conflicts' conference

President Martti Ahtisaari giving his opening remarks on 19 May at the 'Historians without Borders: The Use and Abuse of History in Conflicts' conference in Helsinki. In a globalised world it is increasingly important to be aware of history and its various interpretations. History continues to play a role in conflicts. But what can historians do to prevent the abuse of history for political purposes? Historians without Borders in Finland aims to further public discussion about history and to promote the use of historical knowledge for peace-building and conflict resolution. May 19-20 Historians without Borders organised an international networking conference 'Historians without Borders: The Use and Abuse of History in Conflicts' which constituted the starting point of an international network of Historians without Borders. http://www.historianswithoutborders.fi/   / hwb_fi     / historianswithoutbordersfinland
