The fifth seminar in the "Unlearning
Intolerance" seminar series of the United Nations Department
of Public Information (DPI), entitled "Cartooning for Peace",
will focus on the nature of editorial cartooning and the responsibility
of cartoonists in promoting peace issues. The anger and divisiveness
engendered by the publication of the caricature of Prophet Mohammed
and the recent controversial exhibit on the Holocaust, suggest
both a sense of the power and the necessity of responsibility,
in the art of cartooning. The choice of this particular topic
at the present time will, we hope, offer another opportunity
for the United Nations to be a forum where difficult, but necessary,
questions are raised and addressed, not only to suggest answers
but to spur non-confrontational thought, debate, and enquiry.
