Negotiating Peace: Conditions of Possibility

The Roberta Buffett Institute's 2024–25 international diplomacy series culminated in our spring quarter symposium, Negotiating Peace in a Multipolar World: Lessons Learned, organized with Fundación Acordemos. This two-day event brought together diplomats, negotiators, and academics to discuss the high-profile peace processes of recent decades. Our aim was to draw lessons for future negotiations in a world confronting a crisis of multilateralism.

The initial panel on Friday, April 4 focused on conditions of possibility for negotiating peace and featured:

Betty Bigombe, Uganda's Special Envoy to the peace process in South Sudan and ambassador to the Association of Southeast Asian Nations

Christopher R. Hill, five-time US ambassador, whose last post was as ambassador to Serbia from 2022–2025

Tor Wennesland, the UN's former Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process

Moderator Ian C. Kelly, Ambassador (ret.) in Residence at Northwestern University
