This practice note, a DPPA-OHCHR collaboration, delves into practical strategies and real-world examples to help mediators and human rights practitioners weave human rights principles and considerations into their work in general and in every step of mediation efforts specifically. The note shows that human rights offer practical solutions to many of the challenging issues that mediators try to address.

Руководство предназначено для поддержки старших руководителей и сотрудников ООН, посредников и фасилитаторов в ООН и за ее пределами, а также их команд, сторон в конфликте, представителей государств и региональных организаций, национальных и международных неправительственных организаций, женских групп и других заинтересованных сторон в мирных процессах.

Digital technologies are also changing the character of conflict as parties increasingly rely on them to advance their objectives. Mediators and their teams need to consider additional factors such as the digital ecosystem of a given setting and how digital technologies and related data issues influence the power dynamics of a conflict. To address these new developments and help mediators and political affairs officers navigate the issues, the DPPA Policy and Mediation Division has prepared a Framework for Digital Technology-sensitive Conflict Analysis.
