16 October 2006 | SEMINAR 5
The fifth seminar in the "Unlearning Intolerance" seminar series of the United Nations Department of Public Information (DPI), entitled "Cartooning for Peace", focused 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 presented 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.
