Consensus and Common Positions
A curated area for recording points of agreement that emerge across discussions, including shared principles, common concerns and broad areas of alignment.
Mede and Persian figures hand-in-hand, Apadana, Persepolis.
On the Apadana stairway at Persepolis, a Mede and a Persian are represented hand-in-hand. The gesture is unusually direct for this topic: alignment across difference. The image does not imply that consensus means complete agreement. It suggests that people and institutions can identify common positions while retaining distinct identities and perspectives.
