Lawyers are the ones who dominate the scene from the very beginning. In line with their professional attitude and socialization, they focus on the interests of their clients. Unfortunately, this is focused on money and power interests and usually far from a humanitarian view. With this attitude, they get involved in negotiations far too early and propose a final deal that neglects those affected.
Mediators are the most neglected actors in international peace processes. They have the human being with his needs and feelings in focus. With their transformative, empathic approach, they are able to enable the conflict parties to achieve an essential change of perspective.
Those affected, who are also seen as victims, are the actual main actors. They in particular are often not adequately included in the peace process. Inclusivity is the appropriate keyword. What they urgently need to regain their dignity is acknowledgement accompanied by remorse and mourning for the past wrongs committed by the perpetrators. This restores dignity to the victims and the person-to-person connection increases for the ability to reach a settlement.
