Summary/Abstract
This article investigates the work of a Lebanese non-governmental organization (NGO) called the Committee of the Parents of the Missing and the Disappeared. Although the successive Lebanese governments, most political leaders, ex-militia leaders and ex-combatants did not want to help in revealing the truth about what had happened to the people who went missing during the Lebanese civil war of 1975, the Committee managed to mobilize the families of the missing people under one banner for more than 30 years and was successful in making the Lebanese government and the legal authorities take few but important decisions that favoured the cause of the families of the missing people. It managed to do so without being deterred by the social, political and economic challenges it faced and due to the ability of its leadership to clearly define the sources of contention it wanted to protest against and by selecting the protests methods that best serve its cause.

Journal Article

Summary/Abstract
This article investigates the factors that made few Lebanese ex-combatants, who fought each other during the Lebanese civil war of 1975 and who believed they were fighting for a just cause, able to work together to establish the Fighters for Peace (FFP) association to preach peace and peaceful coexistence. It demonstrates that ex-combatants, who are cause-oriented individuals, can overcome their differences and hatred towards each other and work together for the purpose of civil peace. This can happen, if ex-combatants gradually reintegrate back into society following a two-phase model proposed by the authors.
