PAST EVENT: Negotiating with Violent Criminal Groups

The Institute for Integrated Transitions (IFIT) is pleased to announce Negotiating with Violent Criminal Groups: Lessons and Guidelines from Global Practice, the latest webinar within our 10 Peacebuilding Innovations series. 

Negotiations with violent criminal groups โ€“ such as mafias, cartels, gangs and pirates โ€“ occur more often than imagined. Yet, most of the attempts are unknown, whether because they were secretly conducted, publicly denied, or both.

In this webinar, IFITโ€™s Executive Director will discuss key findings from IFITโ€™s ground-breaking global study of the subject. The study represents the most diverse set of negotiations withย violentย criminal groups ever examined in one place.

Date:ย Thursday, March 30ย from 4:00pm-4:30pmย Barcelona timeย
