A Case Study in Peacemaking

Peacemaking can be described as a set of principles, strategies, and actions aimed at settling conflict between individuals or groups at odds with each other. Peacemaking can be accomplished by the parties in dispute, but often it involves the assistance of a neutral “third” party mediator.

What is restorative justice?

Restorative justice is a theory of justice that emphasizes repairing the harm caused or revealed by criminal behaviour. It is best accomplished through cooperative processes that include all stakeholders.
