This section will discuss issues arising from regional conflicts and anti-American nationalism resulting from the current American military reprisals for the September 11 attacks. Moreover, this section will deal with military conflicts caused by racial nationalism, which have increased significantly since 1990. This will address on a global scale how to judge, diagnose and participate in the core issues and how to overcome the perception of women as simply war victims. A general diagnosis of global conditions will be discussed in a comprehensive manner. This section includes women and the military; national security; crimes against women and other races in times of war, peace and conflict resolution; refugees; International Women's Human Rights Law related to war; and the participation of women in peace negotiations.
