Peace cannot just be introduced or achieved by the signing of an agreement. Attaining peace is also not a magical process. Peace can only be achieved if the community as a whole desires and creates it. The process of peace is addressed with equality, unity, impartiality, and dignity, interlinked like the links in a chain. You and I can destroy all impediments to achieving peace.
