As part of Conciliation Resources’ participation in the International Contact Group on the Mindanao peace process, the organisation recently invited Professor Christine Bell, a leading scholar-practitioner on peacebuilding, on a one-week visit to Manila and Mindanao. Christine focused on the issues of constitutional reform, human rights, and women's participation in peace processes - three of the most relevant peace topics in the Philippines. In collaboration with local and international co-convenors, Christine engaged with government and rebel peace panels; civil society; judiciary, security and business sectors, as well as the international community.
