January 30th, 2013 Last week I sat in Saint Paul and mediated between an employee in Hawaii and her boss in the United Kingdom. To be more precise, it was a simulated mediation, with mediators playing the roles of the parties, and with Giuseppe Leone and his Virtual Mediation Lab making all the arrangements.
As a part of its African Union Mediation Support Capacity Project, CMI presents fifteen videos on different aspects of peace mediation. In each of these fifteen videos, the spotlight is on regional experts, from professors to AU special representatives. The experts reflect on more specific themes, such as the role of women and regional economic communities in mediation processes. Among the other themes discussed are the meaning of impartiality, the particularities of border and election-related disputes and the role of civil society in mediation - with a focus on Africa.
