Creating \u2018Islands of Agreement and Civility\u2019 through Humanitarian Negotiations: A Conflict Management and Disaster-Mitigation Strategy in Russia\u2019s War against Ukraine <\/strong><\/p>\n

Author: Cindy Wittke (Leibniz Institute for East and Southeast European Studies)<\/p>\n

This report focuses on humanitarian negotiations and the potential for creating \u2018islands of civility\u2019 or \u2018islands of agreement\u2019 as tools for conflict and disaster management in the protracted Russian war against Ukraine, and their significance for enabling complex multi-dimensional negotiations and settlements on the local, regional, and international levels.<\/p>\n

Concepts of humanitarian negotiations, \u2018islands of civility\u2019 and \u2018islands of agreement\u2019, are tested and adapted by connecting them to five specific points of Ukraine\u2019s President Volodymyr Zelensky\u2019s 10-point peace plan. Short-term advantages and long-term pitfalls of turning to a conflict management approach and subsequent temporary, issue-specific conflict management agreements are analysed. Recommendations are provided for third parties whose goals are to prevent processes of political and legal destabilization and fragmentation, and to sustain Ukraine\u2019s statehood.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
