Citizen Diplomacy and Conflict Resolution​

Stirred by fear and inspired with love, Rama Vernon vowed in 1984 to change Soviet-American relations from confrontation to cooperation. To accomplish this end, she formed the Center for Soviet- American Dialogue; and since 1985, she has made twenty-seven trips to the Soviet Union, bringing with her nearly a thousand Americans. She has been applauded as a pioneer in the field of Citizen Diplomacy.
-Common Ground of Puget Sound, 1988

According to Rama Jyoti Vernon, a Citizen Diplomat is one who transcends the personal, political, and ideological boundaries, to see the ONENESS of all humanity. A Citizen Diplomat is one who holds two points-of-view simultaneously. This is not an easy thing to do. TO be able to emphasize with the perspective of another, without loosing our own, requires a tremendous sense of self esteem and self-identity. If we don't do this, we get threatened by another person even expressing their own opinion. We close off. Even if we don't turn our backs, we will close our eyes. This also happens in our personal relationships in life. So what we apply on an international level is something we can apply to people nationally. It's so profound, that it is all a self-transformation.

Basically, a Citizen Diplomat is one who transcends the personal, political, and ideological boundaries to see the oneness of all humanity.
