Blog: Innovative tactics used to transform conflict

Post December 18th, 2009 por kantin
Transforming conflict from violence and anger to constructive debate is not easy.  Yes, that is a huge understatement.  Each conflict is unique and carries with it its own contexts - cultural, historical, political, economical, etc.  Human rights practitioners have developed, borrowed and adapted ingenious ways of approach conflict mediation, negotiation, and conciliation.  Is it possible for practitioners to learn from the approaches of others, even though the conflicts vary so greatly?  We think so!  Here are a few of the examples of conflict transformation tactics that have been used successfully by practitioners around the world.

Creating a public forum where the police and ordinary citizens can work together to resolve grievances

The CLEEN Foundation, formally Centre for Law Enforcement Education in Nigeria, created public forums where citizens and police can discuss concerns and grievances regarding crime and police conduct.

Pairing police with refugees and migrants to develop understanding and reduce discrimination

In 1999, the International Centre for Cultures and Languages (Internationales Zentrum für Kulturen und Sprachen) in Austria developed a program that pairs police officers with an immigrant or refugee to foster positive relations between the police force and the foreign-born population. While educating the officers about citizens who they may have held negative stereotypes about, this program also gives the refugees and immigrants an opportunity to communicate with the officers about racial profiling and other racial issues.
