Doug Noll is a peacemaker. With a background as a trial attorney, a black belt in Chinese Kung Fu and experience working with women in the world’s toughest prison, he certainly has the knowledge and skill to resolve conflict in non-peaceful ways. He chooses peacemaking through mediation. As he became interested in international mediation efforts he observed that international mediators, for the most part, were inexperienced in the science and art of mediation. Their rookie mistakes were making things worse, often leading to genocide or further war. Unfortunately, political leaders, diplomats, special envoys, and retired generals are often appointed to a job for which they are not trained nor have sufficient aptitude. Elusive Peace shows why we can no longer afford to allow political, diplomatic, and military leaders to mediate peace accords. They simply don’t know what they are doing. This is sure to be an interesting and provocative show that you won’t want to miss.
