The Oslo forum process strives to critically examine the current practice of conflict mediation. The themes raised at each event are intended to provoke discussions, suggest interesting questions and propose new or unconventional approaches.
Background papers are prepared prior to the retreats to set the tone for discussions and to sensitise participants to current debates and innovative ideas.
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.
