Room: H 2013

The focus of the panel will not be a detailed analysis of each of the listed peace processes. Though the origins and the development of the distinct conflicts certainly play an important role and may be shortly dealt with by experts, the panel aims at examining the lessons learnt from these different peace processes. May they have been successful, may they be still going on, may they be characterized by deep struggles. The panel will also give room for discussion in which the participants may engage in debates on other conflicts and peace processes that might profit from lessons learnt from previous struggles.
