#DEMOCRACY IN TIMES OF #WAR Challenges to Our Common #Humanity World Forum on Democracy and Peace 2023 OPENING SPEECH BY HANS KOECHLER The Forum was organized by the Academy of Cultural Diplomacy, a partner institution of the Institute for Cultural Diplomacy (ICD), established in 1999 in New York City, United States of America. In four days of intense debates, moderated by Dr. Köchler – who is also a member of the Faculty of the Academy for Cultural Diplomacy and a member of the Advisory Board of the ICD – politicians, diplo- mats, academics, students and civil society activists ... The Kantian vision of perpetual peace - No peace without democracy, no democracy without peace – these were the slogans that inspired many in the peace movement of the last century, especially in the final decades of the Cold War. That era’s “democratic peace theory” saw itself in the legacy of the great philosopher of Enlightenment, Immanuel Kant, from Königsberg. In his essay “On Perpetual Peace” [Zum ewigen Frieden], he had explained that only a polity where the citizens have a say as to “whether there should be war or not” [ob Krieg seyn solle, oder nicht] offers the prospect of peace, namely, genuine peace that is durable and more than a temporary cessation of arms.

Bosnia-Herzegovina was first identified as a potential EU member candidate in 2003, applied for membership in 2016, received formal candidate status in 2022, and had accession negotiations opened in 2024. Despite these steps towards EU membership, many challenges remain, including political deadlocks and a struggle with corruption.
