I have seen no discussion on how the soc ctte is going to go about ensuring that such cultural differences are noticed, or taken into account in the resolution process; or that any thought has been taken to address cultural diversity in the dispute resolution process.
I see no way to legislate that cultural differences are "taken into account." About the only way I see of ensuring that these are considered is by selecting a committee that has a group with diverse backgrounds.
Are we planning on taking into account things like cultural differences? Or is the decision going to be that the majority rule (or the dominant culture) be the governing one?
I hope the committee will consider these differences before a decision is made. I would propose that open, frank, and honest communication between all the parties will bring such differences to light. An independent objective third party like the committee should be in a good position to recognize such cultural differences. Whether any of the warring parties will accept what the committee recognizes is an entirely different matter ;-) Richard -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
