The Algerian Mediation Role in Resolving International Disputes

Abstract

When providing case studies of countries focusing on successful mediation, it may be pointed out that Algeria has successfully conducted mediations leading to the resolution of important conflicts in the past few decades. Main case studies have been made about Algeria’s mediations in the Great Lakes region and about the Mali crisis, but we should not forget some other mediations where Algeria played a significant role in the resolution of a conflict opposition. Actually, the two concrete cases summarised in the present section deal with crises that took place in Africa and Asia. These case studies all share some elements that could be understood as weaknesses for the implementation of any mediation between the parties.
