PILPG/DLA Negotiating and Drafting Peace Agreements Training Series


The Public International Law & Policy Group (PILPG) and New Perimeter (DLA Piper’s global pro bonoinitiative) invite you to participate in a training session, free of charge, on negotiating and drafting a power sharing arrangement in a peace agreement.  This is the second session in a series of capacity building workshops designed to develop practical skills necessary for negotiating and drafting key substantive components of a peace agreement.  The training will take place on August 3, 2012, from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM, at DLA’s offices in Washington, DC.

The session is designed to provide participants with the ability to recognize the complexities of power sharing, develop familiarity with the options available for horizontal and vertical power sharing arrangements as well as the related options for state structure, and hone drafting techniques applicable to ensuring a durable power sharing provision.  The training will be conducted around a negotiation simulation and a practical drafting exercise.  A certificate of completion will be issued upon conclusion of the session.

PILPG has over fifteen years experience providing pro bonolegal assistance to parties involved in peace negotiations, and often serves as technical legal experts on their negotiation delegations.  This Training Series is part of PILPG’s Knowledge Management Initiative, focused on sharing PILPG's field experience and subject matter expertise with the community of peace building practitioners.  The Training Series is undertaken in cooperation with New Perimeter.  New Perimeter provides pro bonoassistance to qualifying nonprofits, governments, and academic institutions in developing and post-conflict regions to support social and economic development, as well as transparent and sound legal institutions.

The Training Series is designed for practitioners with at least 2-3 years of field experience or legal drafting experience.  Forthcoming sessions in the Series will include topics such as Transitional Justice, Fiscal Devolution, Refugees and IDPs, and Disarmament, Demobilization, and Reintegration (DDR).

The session is free of charge.  Space is extremely limited.  The session will take place at 500 Eighth Street, Washington, DC, 20004.  To request participation in the session, please respond via E-mail to Rebecca Higney at rhigney@pilpg.org no later than July 25 with your interest in the session, affiliation, and contact information.  This invitation is transferable; please feel free to circulate to your colleagues.
