 Alabama State Department ADR Panel Anticipate the unexpected. Every good mediator can relate to that. But I wasn’t thinking about Alabama ADR going global when the State Department called about a conflict resolution project for Africa. On June 12, 2009, the Center hosted a very special delegation of 10 individuals, accompanied by three Department interpreters, from the Africa nations of Benin, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Comoros, Democratic Republic of Congo, Mali, Niger, Rwanda, and Togo. The individuals were leaders in their countries, conflict resolution practitioners, government and elected officials, and NGO and community leaders, particularly those involved in policy-making and negotiation. They were selected for participation in the U.S. Department of State International Visitor Leadership Program by American Embassies. The Just Resolutions newsletter is worth a good read. It is published monthly by the Section of Dispute Resolution of the American Bar Association.
