The Berghof Foundation hosts a conference in Berlin with global experts and mediators to pioneer new approaches to peacemaking.

The idea is to provide an opportunity to develop urgently needed methods that address the current complexity of war and conflict as events unfolding in Gaza, the failed international intervention in Afghanistan, the war in Ukraine, and the devastating conflict in Sudan exemplify the current crisis in peacemaking.

Speakers include:
– Espen Barth Eide, Minister of Foreign Affairs of Norway.
– Dr Mohammed bin Abdulaziz Al-Khulaifi, Minister of State at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Qatar.
– Miriam Coronel Ferrer, former Senior Mediation Advisor at the UN and the first woman to ever sign a peace
agreement.
– Vasu Gounden, Executive Director of the African Center for the Constructive Resolution of Disputes (ACCORD).
– Christoph Heusgen, Chairman of the Munich Security Conference.
– Neha Sanghrajka, Senior Advisor on Mediation at the UN and Co-founder of Women Mediators across the
Commonwealth; and
– Jeffrey Feltman, Senior Fellow at the UN Foundation and former UN Under-Secretary-General for Political Affairs.
– The Berghof Foundation is an independent, non-profit organisation working to prevent political and social
violence and to achieve sustainable peace.
