Page 322 - BUKU STRENGTHENING THE INDONESIAN PARLIAMENTARY DIPLOMACY FADLI ZON

The paradigm of sustainable development demand us to leave to future generations at least
the same or better possibilities for development as they present today. Hence, a balanced
development of economy, society and environment, and the absence of wars, terrorism and
conflicts are required. Wars, terror attacks and conflicts are causing serious damage to the
development, including loss of human lives, destruction of property, and decrease in economic
activity, threatened individual freedoms, and destruction of natural environment.

It is therefore very important for sustainability to establish a secure global environment. This
requires both protection against violence and elimination of its root causes, as well as active
work of individuals, national states, non-governmental and international organizations toward
peace.
