Addressing these concerns requires a balance between the rights and prerogatives of communities and those of individuals. For example,

• Accountability for international crimes should be firmly established through an international criminal court, national justice systems, and truth and reconciliation commissions, as well as through victim compensation and other measures of redress.
• Encouraging democracy and good governance and supporting the rule of law requires public accountability, access to information, and the exercise of civic and political rights by all members of the population.
• Social justice requires greater responsiveness to the interests and needs of vulnerable segments of societies such as women, children, minorities, the disabled, the aged, and refugees.
• Education for the coming age calls for new approaches and a strong program of research on effective techniques and strategies, as well as vigorous debate on how the necessary resources can be provided for universal education of high quality.
