This webinar is part of the When Flags Change speaker series, which examines how shifts in political order impact humanitarian negotiations. Each session explores different challenges, from managing new authorities and restrictions to rebuilding relationships and maintaining trust in negotiations.
This session focuses specifically on the role of trust in humanitarian negotiations—how it is built, sustained, or challenged in times of crisis and political upheaval.
The discussion will be led by Dr. Peter Maurer, President of the Board at the Basel Institute on Governance and former President of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), who brings decades of diplomatic and humanitarian leadership experience.
The discussion will cover:
-
The importance of trust in humanitarian negotiations.
-
How trust influences negotiation outcomes and relationships.
-
Whether negotiations can take place in the absence of trust.
-
Strategies for building trust during crisis situations and periods of instability.
This webinar aims to explore the foundations of trust as a core component of principled humanitarian engagement and examine how trust can be established—or re-established—during times of crisis and transition.
