A Psychological Ethics-Informed Peaceful Coexistence Plan.

This brief note presents steps toward the development of peaceful cooperation and coexistence in war-torn areas of the world. The proposed peace plan is based on a revised version of the American and Canadian psychological ethics codes as published in a book by Young in 2017. The five reworked ethical principles in the revised ethics code include the following: life preservation, caring (beneficence), relational integrity, respect for the dignity and rights of persons and peoples, and promoting and acting from justice in society. The five principles were used as guides in developing a peace plan based on psychological ethics. The proposed peace plan could work ethically and psychologically when it is properly incentivized, as with the political Abraham Accords. The latter has brought together adversaries in the Middle East into a cooperative political and economic framework. Community-to-community communication and collaboration need to be promoted to organize human contact and cooperation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
