The peace talks that started in January in Switzerland offered a new opportunity to lay the groundwork to end the conflict. But instead, the international process to negotiate a peace settlement has been dominated by armed groups who are most responsible for escalating the violence. Why have efforts to negotiate a peace faltered so far? How can we ensure that a peace agreement lasts? What are the legal strategies that international attorneys are engaged in to advocate for a strategic cease-fire through the participation of women-led civil society? This CLE session will address these questions and provide a holistic understanding of the current international legal strategy currently underway.
