The ravages of war not only affect those it so profoundly touches, but also disturbs that human conscience that we are sometimes guilty of ignoring. That collective conscience is always there, ever-present, becoming increasingly distorted as transgressions stemming from intolerance, cruelty, and gross injustice continue to be propagated. It is therefore incumbent on us all, especially the 'distant observers', to do all that we can to bring this "collective conscience" back into harmony.
The Middle East's many faces and the travesties it has weathered can sometimes be better captured through the medium of photography. The following talented photographers cover some of the region's most recent pressing conflicts with the utmost sensitivity and professionalism.
Their work not only portrays the devastation that has beset many parts of the region but also focuses with discriminating detail on the human element which is sadly too often forgotten.
By bringing the human dimension to the forefront, it is my hope that these vivid images underscore our "collective humanity."
