For the last conference of our cycle Israel, Palestine and European Societies, we wanted to address what may at first glance sound as a counterintuitive perspective on the israeli-palestinian conflict namely the question of ethics (and the role. of international humanitarian law and international courts) and mediation in times of war. By mediation we referred not only to political mediation (hostages, cease fire, humanitarian aid) but also social mediation at different levels including civil society actors involved in peace and dialogue initiatives.

The panel gathered three internationally recognized experts from different disciplinary horizons, with both an academic and practitioner perspective in the practice of international negotiation and mediation:

Can Mediators Reconfigure Incompatible Narratives?", Global Policy, 10:2 (2019)
