Unless we respect all human being and their rights, justice cannot prevail. Respect for other comes from the basic premise that “All humans are created equal” and it is a simple tool towards violence free conflict resolution. Respect is the building block of trust, which in turns is the building block of relationships. Lack of trust generates poor relationships with which conflict resolution turns into a landmine.
What is respect? It is to show regard or consideration for others beliefs, feelings or understanding; it means esteem for self and for others; and it means listening to others.
