Specialists in peace processes have understood in recent years that a vital element for ending or preventing warfare is inclusion—ensuring that all groups in a society have their voices heard and their critical concerns met. But what are we learning about how to do that, and do it better? On January 31, veterans of peace processes from Nepal to South Sudan to El Salvador to Turkey will discuss the lessons offered by their recent experiences.

Speakers at this forum have worked on violent conflicts from across several continents, to build peace processes that are inclusive. Their experiences include: working on “national dialogues,” such as those aimed at stopping civil wars in South Sudan or in Yemen. The case studies also will include promoting dialogue and conciliation between the government and minority groups in Turkey, and building a public sense of legitimacy and confidence in a peace process in El Salvador that involved armed opposition groups.

The United States Institute of Peace works to prevent, mitigate, and resolve violent conflict around the world. USIP does this by engaging directly in conflict zones and by providing analysis, education, and resources to those working for peace. Created by Congress in 1984 as an independent, nonpartisan, federally funded organization, USIP’s more than 300 staff work at the Institute’s D.C. headquarters, and on the ground in the world’s most dangerous regions.
