Governor Michael Dukakis, co-founder and chairman of the Boston Global Forum, would like to build a framework for peace and security in the 21st century. The framework is based on democracy, openness, transparency, freedom of information, accountability, responsibility, and protection of the environment. It is standards and norms for the world today.
The US, China, Russia, the EU, India and Japan all play very important roles to maintain peace and security in the world.
To solve conflicts, Governor Dukakis calls for a forum between these nations and countries in conflict and highly contested regions, based on common standards, norms and international laws, to generate solutions.
