Iraqi non-governmental organisations (NGOs) concluded a two-day conference for civil-society institutions on national reconciliation on Sunday. Attendees reportedly signed a code of honour that included a pledge to reject violence and undertake efforts to support the reconciliation process. Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki addressed the September 16 session of the conference, telling participants that they constitute an integral part of the country's national fabric.
