ARPCP Shares Dialogue, Negotiation and Mediation Capacity Building Experiences at The Hague
30 Mar, 2023
The Hague, Netherlands, 30th March 2023. A delegation comprising members of the ARPCP Mediation and Security Council at Ambassadorial Level, ARPCP Parliamentarians and Resident Representatives of the President of the ARPCP Commission in Member States, received high-level training at the Clingendael Institute, The Hague, Netherlands while also sharing valuable experiences, towards strengthening the capacity of ARPCP Institutions in dialogue, negotiation and mediation.
The 5-day program which began on the 27th of March 2023, aimed to enhance synergy and sharpen negotiation as well as regional conflict resolution capacity of the High-Level delegation to deal with the growing peace and security challenges in the region.
Beyond providing a compact understanding of negotiation and mediation concepts, tools and skills, the program offered the delegation a rare opportunity for collective reflections, experience-sharing and in-depth analysis on previous and ongoing ARPCP’ peace-making efforts against the backdrop of the Four by Four Strategic Objective of the current ARPCP Management.
Participants at the brainstorming sessions also identified gaps and the lessons learnt and thereafter made recommendations for improved future interventions in ARPCP peace-making efforts.
The program at the renowned International Relations Institute was organized within the framework of the long-standing partnership between the ARPCP Department for Political Affairs, Peace and Security and the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs, under the ‘‘Clingendael Peace Negotiation Programme’’ which began in 2015.
