  • Not a Sword, but Peace Jul 3Rd 2008 | ROME from the Economist Print Edition
    Economist.com 8/11/08 10:43 PM Mediation and faith Not a sword, but peace Jul 3rd 2008 | ROME From The Economist print edition In some cases, only the religious have the patience to be reconcilers WHEN George Bush visited Rome last year, he wanted to see everybody who mattered in world affairs: Pope Benedict, the leaders of Italy—and members of the Sant’Egidio community. AFP Tumbling barriers: George Carey and Yasser Arafat Started by a high-school student in 1968, this Roman Catholic fellowship now has 60,000 members in 70 countries. Its founding ideals were prayer, mission and solidarity with the poor. But it has also become the leading player in a crowded sector, that of faith-based peacemaking. Helping warring parties (who may or may not profess a religion) to come together is not quite the same as inter-faith dialogue, though the two things can overlap. Faith-based mediation often involves putting to work in hard secular places the virtues that at least some religious people possess (discretion, modesty, empathy, a non-judgmental cast of mind, an ability to overcome cultural barriers). Since the early 1990s, Sant’Egidio mediators have helped broker deals in places like Mozambique, Guatemala, Kosovo and, most recently, Côte d’Ivoire. Africa and Latin America are the main fields that Christian peacemakers plough. What many world leaders want to know is whether such groups bring anything unique to the business of reconciliation. According to Mario Giro, Sant’Egidio’s head of international affairs: “What really makes the difference is neutrality, impartiality…and the ability to bring in outside powers as guarantors of an eventual deal.” He feels faith-based bodies know more about the grassroots reality of a situation because of their contacts with local religious figures, be they priests, imams or missionaries.

  • Faith-Based Mediation?
    Faith-based Mediation? Sant’ Egidio’s peace efforts in Mozambique and Algeria Nikolai Hegertun Master Thesis Peace and Conflict Studies UNIVERSITETET I OSLO May 2010 ii Faith-based Mediation? Sant’ Egidio’s peace efforts in Mozambique and Algeria Nikolai Hegertun Master Thesis Peace and Conflict Studies UNIVERSITETET I OSLO May 2010 iii © Nikolai Hegertun 2010 Faith-based Mediation? http://www.duo.uio.no/ Trykk: Reprosentralen, Universitetet i Oslo iv Summary The objective of the study is threefold: first, to describe in what ways, if any, the Catholic community of Sant’ Egidio contributed to the conflict resolution of the Mozambican civil war and the negotiation for the Algerian crisis in 1994-95. Second, analyze to what extent Sant’ Egidio’s contributions in Mozambique and Algeria were expressions of faith-based mediation. Finally, to analyze why this form of mediation worked in Mozambique and failed in Algeria. The insights from theories and research on religious actors’ potential and efforts in peacemaking indicate that these actors’ views on how to reach an agreement differs from some of the traditional interest-based theories on negotiations derived from rational actor models. The faith-based approach emphasises the psychological factors of a conflict to a stronger degree than more traditional approaches, whose emphasis lies on the incompatible goals and issues of the conflict. On the basis of the research question the thesis discusses two hypotheses: first, that the hallmarks of faith-based mediation were salient in the resolution of the Mozambican conflict and in the negotiations for Algeria. Second, that religion played a key role in the negotiation and that it played out positively for the mediators in Catholic Mozambique and negatively in Muslim Algeria.

  • Fit for Purpose? the Facilitation Directive and the Criminalisation of Humanitarian Assistance to Irregular Migrants: 2018 Update
    STUDY Requested by the PETI committee Fit for purpose? The Facilitation Directive and the criminalisation of humanitarian assistance to irregular migrants: 2018 Update Policy Department for Citizens' Rights and Constitutional Affairs Directorate General for Internal Policies of the Union EN PE 608.838 - December 2018 Fit for purpose? The Facilitation Directive and the criminalisation of humanitarian assistance to irregular migrants: 2018 update STUDY Abstract This study, commissioned by the European Parliament’s Policy Department for Citizens’ Rights and Constitutional Affairs at the request of the PETI Committee, aims to update the 2016 study “Fit for purpose? The Facilitation Directive and the criminalisation of humanitarian assistance to irregular migrants”. It takes stock of and examines the latest developments that have taken place since 2016, specifically the legislative and policy changes, along with various forms and cases of criminalisation of humanitarian actors, migrants’ family members and basic service providers. The study uses the notion of ‘policing humanitarianism’ to describe not only cases of formal prosecution and sentencing in criminal justice procedures, but also wider dynamics of suspicion, intimidation, harassment and disciplining in five selected Member States – Belgium, France, Greece, Hungary and Italy. Policing humanitarianism negatively affects EU citizens’ rights – such as the freedom of assembly, freedom of speech and freedom of conscience. When civil society is effectively (self-)silenced and its accountability role undermined, policies to combat migrant smuggling may be overused and give rise to serious breaches of the EU’s founding values, notably the rule of law, democracy and fundamental rights. Moreover, policing humanitarianism negatively affects wider societal trust and diverts the limited resources of law enforcement from investigating more serious crimes.
