How to watch
Summary
How do we resolve conflict today? Each power bloc appears to be inventing its own version of the rules. We come from the Alaska talks. Trump has had success with his “art of the deal” brokerage of the 30-year conflict between Rwanda and DRC, as well as Azerbaijan and Armenia. What’s at stake, and how does this approach benefit the majority of people in these countries? Then there are the intractable dilemmas of Gaza, Sudan, and Myanmar. The present framework doesn’t work here, but what can take the place of the system based on the UN Charter and similar local arrangements and understandings?
