Preventing sweeping human rights violations or wars and rebuilding
societies in their aftermath require an approach encompassing
the perspectives of both human rights advocates and practitioners
of conflict resolution. While these two groups work to achieve
many of the same goals notably to end violence and loss of
life they often make different assumptions, apply different methods,
and operate under different values and institutional constraints.
As a result, they may adopt conflicting or even mutually
exclusive approaches to the same problem.
