best practice --- @Stefanie I am not against best practices which may be defined as the best fit for a particular situation at hand. However, best practices must be rooted in an understanding of what are the issues at hand, what is each other's understanding of these issues (which may be subjective) and hence such understanding (definitions) have permitted each person to act as they perceive the problem; best practice tells them that's not the best solution despite their respective understanding (definition) of the problem. Best practice may likely look at a compromise solution (CBMs, soft policies, etc) which have successfully worked in jurisdictions A or B; my point is that a proper understanding or definition of the problem (terms) is key to providing solutions for which best practices come into play. I assume that best practices are designed for success and peace (in this context) and not necessarily to aggravate even if this may seemed the best solution.
