MSN Discussion Points
The Mediation Support Network (MSN) is a small, global network of primarily non-governmental organizations that support mediation in peace negotiations. The network meets regularly and at each meeting a specific topic related to peace mediation and conflict transformation is discussed. The “MSN Discussion Points” series summarizes key aspects of these discussions. It does not represent a comprehensive or consensus view of MSN members, but rather seeks to provide some material to inspire further reflection.
