Oslo forum 2011 - The Annual Mediators' Retreat
21-23 June 2011, Oslo
The Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Centre for Humanitarian Dialogue co-hosted the Oslo forum 2011 from 21 to 23 June in Oslo.
The ninth of its kind, the forum was a unique opportunity for senior third-party conflict mediators and other key peace process actors to share their experiences, identify challenges and reflect on their own and others’ practice in a discreet setting and informal atmosphere.
