Prof. Monica Herz, coordinator of the Global South Unit for Mediation (GSUM), participated in a meeting of the Academic Advisory Council on Mediation, at the Université de Montréal, on 30-31 January 2017.
The Academic Advisory Council on Mediation was established by the United Nations in November 2012, with the objective of promoting exchanges between leading academics/institutions working on conflict prevention and mediation in different regions and the United Nations Department of Political Affairs (DPA). The steering committee of the Academic Advisory Council includes DPA’s Mediation Support Unit (MSU) and scholars such as Laurie Nathan, William Zartman, John Paul Lederach and Monica Herz.
The meeting was closed for invited participants.
