The speakers all have experience in working on lasting peace. At HagueTalks they share their personal experiences and insights on the following questions:
What causes conflicts? Are there new, effective methods we can share that will tackle the causes and prevent war? What can we do to tend to resist seeing other people negative?
How do we get out of a conflict? Experienced peace negotiators bring us to their worlds and help us to understand the ways in which warring parties can be encouraged to come to the table.
What makes peace sustainable? How can we assess sustainability? Hear from those who have hands-on knowledge of the systems and ideas necessary for peace.
