Short Abstract:
The panel seeks to discuss the role of peace and conflict management in creating a vibrant and peaceful world order. The panel investigates the changing role of state and international society in creating order and co operation in times of civil war and ethnic cleansing .
Long Abstract:
In the post 1945 scenario, the life of a citizen is not threatened by inter state wars but by civil wars . State itself engages itself in global offences such as genocide and ethnic cleansing. This entails that the there is consistent corrosion of political values in the global system. When atrocities are committed, it is deemed that state has surrendered its sovereignty to the international community.
The panel seeks to find out the tools that are available with the international community which will help to resolve the conflict driven societies. The panel seeks to interpret the tools of peace such as Responsibility to Protect, good offices, negotiations and various others methods available under UN Charter and its variants. The concept of Fail / weak states will be analyzed through the prism of new concept of State building. The panel will also discuss the relevance of Immanuel kant's perpetual peace model in the 21st century.

Session 1Paper short abstract:
The paper focuses on the violent terrorist activities with religious consciousness in Xinjiang, China, and tries to use religious classification method to establish common ancestors instead of color classification, which will play a positive role among humanity, affinity and dissolving hatred.
Paper long abstract:
The violent terrorist activities have been deteriorating in Xinjiang. Some groups of Uyghur claim they are descendants of White with academic viewpoint from white mummies of 3800 years unearthed in Xiaohe Cemetery, then question the sovereignty of Xinjiang, and boast they are enemies of china in 3000 years.
Historical recorded that the grandson of Emperor Huang, An, was granted in west. He led Ruo people to west, and his descendants established Parthian. The descendant of Emperor Huang, Yu, claimed to be Emperor in Central State, and built priest groups of white Ruo. Above activities were confirmed by archaeology, which could be regarded as the Central State (China) took sovereignty over Xinjiang in about 2500 BC to 2000 BC.
The paper tries to find out blood relationship between Han and Uyghurs with religion and culture analysis, to make them to recognize common ancestors in religion, then to marginalize racial differences, finally to reach psychological identification. The immediate measures might be: 1)to improve national ethnic policy; 2)to protect the ruins of white ancestors and develop root-tracing tourism; 3)to organize periodic forums and open academic taboo; 4)to include in compulsory education.
White people in Xiaohe cemetery were Ruo people, whose mother's ethnic group was white descendants of Shushan, and father's ethnic group was originated from Emperor Huang. Totems of birds and mice, wooden penises of Fuxi, 7-day sacrifices, 12 earthly branches and 12 zodiac, white stone gods, cattle gods, disymmetric snakes, were unearthed there, which were also civilization elements of Xia Dynasty.
Paper short abstract:
The paper tends to focus on the relevance of the Kantian peace Model in the present era and how it can be related to the post-modern concepts of state building and responsibility to protect.
Paper long abstract:
Immanuel Kant's hypothetical Perpetual peace Model was always construed as a Utopian idea, but in the 21st century it has been given a new lease of life through the nascent concept of Responsibility To Protect. Kant's idea of setting up of a liberal world composing of Democratic Nations is now being investigated by Peace and Conflict Management theorists and strategists alike. The idea has come into vogue ever since the International Community has failed to deal with Fail / Weak states. The paper will argue that Kant's Ideas read along with State Building and responsibility To protect provides an alternative to Peace Management. Section I will deal with the Concept of Kant's peace model. Section II will explore the concept of Responsibility to protect and its relationship with kantian Peace Model . section III deals with the problem of Fail/weak states. Section IV will conclude that State building and Responsibility to Protect read with Kant's ideas are the Panacea for conflict resolution.
