On June 3, 2025, Dr. Sukehiro Hasegawa, Director of the Kyoto Peacebuilding Center, delivered a special lecture titled “Peacebuilding and Reconciliation in Rwanda and Timor-Leste” at the International Christian University (ICU). As part of the ICU Peace and Reconciliation Week, the lecture offered profound insights into peace and reconciliation, drawing from Dr. Hasegawa’s firsthand experiences in the field. A lively Q&A session followed, during which participants posed thought-provoking questions on topics such as the relationship between justice and reconciliation, and the complex balance between “forgiving” and “forgetting” over time.
