Engaging armed groups in peace processes

International policy is unclear on how, whether and when to talk to armed groups. But strategic engagement can be an essential part of ending violent conflicts and saving lives.

Our updated Accord policy brief Choosing to engage: armed groups and peace processes (October 2009) gives policymakers useful guidance on the options, challenges and tactics for engaging with armed groups at different stages of a peace process.

The brief is also available in Spanish, Russian and French.
