Cambodia: There are many ways to communicate together and with the world, but the thing is to communicate in the right way. Misinformation is miscommunication. Today, World Association for Christian Communities (WACC) is gathering the secular communicators to explore global experience with the world.

As a bitter experience in the protracted war of the Pol Pot regime in Cambodia, the misinformation and miscommunication caused more than two thousand deaths pitifully, and without adequate response until today. The point is that people have been trying to forget the past, but justice is what they need. They want to bring all of the leaders of the regime to trial, and the aftermath should be resolved legally in peace. Right away, misinformation is miscommunication and then misunderstanding will cause wrongdoing. To be without communication is to be without the ears of information.

Today, we are gathered from different countries, languages, religion, cultures, and races to share different views with the globe; with such differences, where is the common ground? Exactly, the communication is what we can do together. WACC has provided the vital opportunity for communicators from around the world to meet, to talk, and to network in a bid to improve the world network of peace and peaceful lives, and in particular, to explore the conference theme Communication is Peace: Building viable Communities.
