To help support and facilitate understanding and well-conceived action to end terrorism, EDC has launched the End-Terrorism online forum. The forum will provide a venue to facilitate knowledge sharing and to identify and support constructive action that will end terrorism. The End-Terrorism List aims to facilitate a dynamic interchange that involves a wide range of participants throughout the world in order to: * Improve our understanding of the complex issues related to terrorism * Facilitate the exchange of information, experience, research and "lessons learned" among all of those concerned with the problem of terrorism, including experts and others advising governments and international organisations. * Help identify successful approaches, methodologies and tools, state-of-the-art thinking in the various areas related to ending terrorism * Create a safe forum where people can share their views * Provide input into future policies and programmes of governments, the UN, and other international organisations * Honor those who have made significant contributions to eradicating terrorism * Help to build a global partnership to end terrorism The End-Terrorism List, which begins 24 September 2001, will examine a range of issues, including: * What is terrorism? Does terrorism differ from war? * What causes terrorism? * What can and should be done to prevent, and stop, terrorism? Who needs to do it? * How can governments and civil society organisations in different parts of the world work more effectively with one another to end terrorism? * What role should international organisations play in ending terrorism? * What is the role of religion in ending terrorism? What do the various world religions have to say about terrorism? * What do the "experts" know about ending terrorism, including military experts, diplomats, development experts, and others from around the world? * What do young people think about terrorism and how does it affect their lives and world view? ***HOW TO JOIN THE END-TERRORISM LIST*** To join the End-Terrorism List, send an e-mail to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Do *not* enter a subject.

The List is moderated by revolving Guest Moderators drawn from countries around the world.
