| Global Voices Highlight: A Path to Mediation in the Middle East by Mohamad Radwan Al Omar Most of the old generations in the Middle East witnessed arranged marriages, which escalated into disputes and conflicts afterwards due to the lack of love.

| Mediation and the 4 Agreements by Rafeena Bacchus The Four Agreements is based on ancient Toltec wisdom which is said to embody the essential unity of truth and described as a way of life. I believe that if we adopt these Four Agreements they will create enough personal power to change the way we mediate and resolve conflict, leading to better and more satisfying settlements. |
