Default Iraqi factions end 3 days of talks in Helsinki.

Quote:
HELSINKI (AFP) - Representatives from Iraq's main ethnic groups on Sunday wound up three days of talks in Finland where they studied reconciliation processes in Northern Ireland and South Africa, the organisers said.



"After three days of intense discussion the conferees adopted a set of principles for joint national action in addition to a set of implementation mechanisms with the aim of advancing national reconciliation in Iraq," the Finnish non-profit organisation Crisis Management Initiative (CMI) said in a statement.

"Most importantly, they agreed that dialogue and negotiation was the primary means of resolving political disputes," it said.

Thirty-six Iraqis took part in the closed-door seminar on "Divided Societies," in addition to representatives from the South African and Northern Irish peace processes.

"I am satisfied with the progress we have achieved in the difficult circumstances of our ongoing conflict and trust that we can achieve more in the coming months," Sheikh Humam Hamoudi, the chairman of the Constitutional Review Committee (CRC) of the Iraqi National Assembly, said in the statement.

The Iraqis agreed to meet again within three months in Baghdad to finalise their work "and refine the principles and mechanisms that would enable them to reach a national agreement."

It will be interesting to see if they can take anything constructive home from this. The factional conflicts among the Iraqis have more deeply seated roots that go back much further in history than either Northern Ireland or South Africa.
