The International Peace Academy (IPA) is organising a consultation on "War, Peace and Reconciliation in Africa" from 28 November to 2 December, 1999 in Dakar, Senegal, according to IPA.
The conference is being organised in cooperation with the Council for the Development of Social Scientific Research in Africa (CODESRIA) with the support of the governments of Sweden and the Netherlands.
The conference will focus on four major issues: the insecurity and intractability of war in large parts of Africa, the challenges of constructing durable peace, the viability of amnesty, immunity and tribunals on the path to reconciliation and the prospects of African solutions to African problems of war.
The consultation aims to integrate the perspectives of civil society actors and regional and international policy makers in order to develop a coherent plan of action for building and maintaining sustainable peace in Africa.
