Yearbook on Peace Processes 2006

Anuario de Procesos de Paz

This first edition of the Peace Process Yearbook analyses conflicts in which negotiations to reach a peace agreement are underway. Conflicts are included regardless of whether the negotiations are: formal; currently in an exploratory phase; proceeding satisfactorily; or at a standstill. Most of the negotiations relate to armed conflicts. However, some of the negotiations relate to situations in which there are no serious armed confrontations, but the parties involved have not reached a definitive agreement to end hostilities and their unresolved differences. In such situations, negotiations are required to avoid beginning or reinitiating armed confrontations.
