On Monday, Oct 16, I joined 11 other cartoonists at the United Nations for a Seminar titled “Cartooning For Peace: The Responsibility of Political Cartoonists?” There were two panels, one discussing the role of cartoonists in educating their readers, and another on whether or not this responsibility abridges rights. This was the fifth in a series sponsored at the UN under the umbrella topic “Unlearning Intolerance”.

My colleagues were: Cintia Bolio (Mexico), Baha Boukari (Palestine), Jeff Danziger (USA) Carsten Graabaek (Denmark), Michael Kichka (Israel), Mike Luckovich (USA), Rana Lurie (United States), Gado (Kenya), Jean Plantu (France), Ann Telnaes (United States), Norio Yamanoi (Japan). It was a great pleasure to meet a variety of cartoonists from many countries, and to share our work and our beliefs.
