The Berghof Foundation launches the book “Human rights in mediation: The heart of the matter”. In her book, author Katarina Månsson examines the relationship between human rights and mediation by analysing past and present mediation processes, from the early beginnings of United Nation’s mediation efforts to recent examples like the peace process in Colombia.

Despite both human rights and mediation being vital for settling conflicts peacefully, the role of human rights in mediation processes still is a largely unexplored topic. Månsson’s analysis aims to bring human rights and mediation practitioners closer together and to strengthen human rights considerations in mediation.

The publication is available for online view and download on the website of Berghof Foundation.
