3. systemic problems
• Post-war violence and repression still high
• Violence against independent media and critical dissent
• Legacy of 30 years of war: Communal distrust, no reconciliation, no political
settlement, continued militarisation, national security mindset, repressive
government, on-going censorship, poor rule of law, un-constitutional
governance
15. the future is anchored to and underpinned by
• Geo-location and geo-referencing via Google Maps, Bing etc
• New media and Web 2.0 technologies, including social networking
• Mobiles, and especially smartphones
• Broadband, especially wireless
• Interoperable ODR systems / data portability initiatives
16. the enduring challenges will be
• Privacy, in the age of Facebook
• Culture and context, actors and process, physical vs. virtual
• Transforming investments on PC based platforms, to mobile based platforms
• Engendering the political will to transform complex conflict
• The emphasis on the process, as opposed to the technology - people as
opposed to the platform
