RESOLVING AND MANAGING CONFLICTS WITHOUT AGGRESSION IN INTERNATIONAL POLITICS

Abstract

This article undertakes how conflicts which are of international origin could be resolved without using aggression, armament and the likes. This article argues that using aggression in resolving international conflicts leads to loss of lives and properties as well reduction in tourism in nations engaged in conflict. Negotiation which is an Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) mechanism and a non-violent dispute resolution process is highly recommended in this article as an alternative in resolving and managing conflicts without using any form of aggression in international conflicts. Taking recent events such as the Israel-Hamas conflict and the Rwandan genocide, this article shows that proper negotiation among leaders would have averted the unprecedented bloodshed. This article concludes that negotiation should be utilized more in promoting world peace and development.
