Within the framework of the peaceful resolution of international conflicts, including the prevention of such conflicts, programmes offering specific training in mediation techniques are essential. CITpax organises training programmes for mediators, aimed at people with specific skills for influencing the resolution of conflicts. International mediation fits perfectly within a foreign policy model that is committed to multilateralism and peace. People in key positions need to be suitably trained so that they can help change a conflict situation using peaceful means.
