However there are some potential biases present in the article which could be explored further. For example there is no mention or exploration into counterarguments or alternative perspectives which could provide a more balanced view on this topic. Additionally there is no discussion around possible risks associated with promoting peace building initiatives such as those mentioned above which could be beneficial to include. Furthermore there is no mention or exploration into other countries outside Asia Pacific region which could provide a more global perspective on this issue.
