Conflicts arising from or resulting in self-determination claims have for decades accounted for half the conflicts in the world. This report brings together learning from the initial phase of a three-year partnership between Conciliation Resources and the Sasakawa Peace Foundation (SPF) looking at how a transformative approach to peace mediation can help prevent, manage or resolve self-determination conflicts. The report examines what distinct mediation and peacebuilding challenges self-determination conflicts present; what options and approaches mediation and peace practitioners can use to help address them; and how mediation and peace support processes can better connect across different groups, levels and spaces in effectively addressing these conflicts.
