Introduction
The role of international mediation in frozen conflicts has become increasingly important in the field of conflict resolution and peacebuilding. Frozen conflicts refer to unresolved territorial disputes or conflicts that have been stalled or put on hold, often with no clear resolution in sight. These conflicts can be highly volatile and can have serious humanitarian consequences for the populations involved.
This thesis will explore the various ways in which international mediation can be used to address and potentially resolve frozen conflicts. The study will examine the different strategies and approaches that mediators use to facilitate dialogue, build trust, and ultimately help parties reach a sustainable peace agreement.
