The Oslo forum regularly convenes senior conflict mediators, high level decision makers and key peace process actors in a series of informal and discreet retreats to share their experiences, identify challenges and reflect on their own and others' practice.
The retreats attract an illustrious group of senior mediators and other peace process actors who seek to resolve international armed conflict through dialogue.
Background papers are prepared prior to the retreats to set the tone for discussions at the retreats and to sensitise participants to innovative ideas and current debates.
The views expressed in papers posted on this website are those of the authors, and not necessarily those of the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs or the HD Centre.
