On 5 April 2012 the Centre for Mediation in Africa, in collaboration with the United Nations Mediation Support Unit, hosted a consultative workshop on international mediation at the University of Pretoria.

The workshop aimed to contribute to the forthcoming report by the United Nations Secretary-General on the topic of effective mediation, as requested by the General Assembly in 2011 through resolution 65/283.

Topics covered included:

The qualities of a good mediator;
The key attributes of an effective mediation process, including during the design and implementation stages;
Considerations for effective co-operation between different third-party actors involved in the mediation process;
Vital elements of a successful peace agreement; and
The contribution continuous mediation efforts can make to the effective implementation of a peace agreement.
