In John Lederach’s (2001) article, Five Qualities of Practce in Support of Reconciliation Process, he argues that the path to forgiveness and reconciliation on a global scale is a process, not just a choice. The five qualities of practice he identifies are: 1. Reconciliation as relationship centric – here Lederach (2001) explains that reconciliation starts with the relationship not just the “issues” between those involved in the conflict. 2. Reconciliation as accompaniment – He explains when a third party becomes involved in trying to resolve a conflict (a mediator)…

Rasha Diab, author of Shades of Sulh: The Rhetorics of Arab-Islamic Reconciliation, states that the literal definition of the word sulh means “reconciliation”, and that it “captures the practices, rituals, processes, and goals of sulh, a very old sociopolitical traditional reconciliation practice in the Arab world that relies heavily on mediation” and attempts to realize the people’s rights in any act of aggression (Diab 42). Diab asserts that not only does sulh discourse merge both judicial and human rights discourses, but it also focuses on an inclusive pattern of rhetorical, constitutive, persuasive, and visionary expression that is eclipsed by the need to seek justice and peace. She mentions that sulh, as a traditional peacemaking practice,…

Failure of Political Compromise According to The Merriam-Webster Dictionary, the definition of compromise is “a settlement of differences reached by mutual concessions” (166). A compromise can be temporary or long-term and is typically settled by two or more parties. In any government changes are inevitable, so these compromises may be altered or abolished. In terms of slavery, compromise was one of the more difficult decisions in United States history. Determining whether or not it was morally acceptable to keep African Americans as slaves on plantation farms was a matter of opinion, which, in this case, was a national controversy.…
The United States entered the 20th Century “a great power, but not yet [a] participant in the great-power system.” A burgeoning economic superpower, the United States had yet to assert itself politically on the international stage.

The Oslo Accords were the name given to two sets of agreements between the government of Israel and the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO). These accords signified a drastic change in relationship between the two parties. “The Oslo Accords marked the first time that the state of Israel and the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) formally recognized one another, and publicly committed to negotiate a solution to their decades-long conflict based on territorial compromise” (Al Jazeera America). There are two parts that make up the Oslo Peace Process. The first was “The Declaration of Principles for Establishing Palestinian Self Rule”, AKA Oslo I, which was signed on the 13th of September in 1993 (Shulman, 1993, 793).…
His emotional writing acts to portray a biased argument, devaluing his validity. Macmillan, however, uses an detached writing style, placing forth a more convincing and balanced argument that the outcome of the peace treaty did take part in leading towards future conflicts but cannot hold full blame. She states in her article that the peace makers ‘had limited options’28 but that they managed to create a treaty that was ‘met with general approval in the Allied countries.’29 Therefore the Peace settlement cannot be entirely the cause of future conflicts, in some form ‘The outcome depended on the decisions of later leaders’30as…
