In this CSS Mediation Perspectives blog, Simon J. A. Mason and Govinda Clayton discuss what ceasefires are and how they relate to peace mediation in reference to the UN DPPA “Guidance on Mediation of Ceasefires”, which the Mediation Support Network discussed in their recent meeting. After reflecting on key points from the Guidance, the MSN members grappled with the questions: what insights and challenges do MSN members face in their work related to ceasefires? What are the gaps and ideas that might carry the Guidance forward?
