Since the end of the Cold War, mediation in international conflict has risen to the top of the international agenda. The Oslo Accords, the international intervention in former Yugoslavia, demonstrate the importance of intervention into conflict which threatens human rights and international peace. Deiniol Lloyd Jones takes a fresh look at this topic using developments in political and international theory. Based on primary research and interviews with the key players, the author argues that the process suspended the Palestinians in a space between the international and the domestic thus illegimately excluding Palestinian demands for national self-determination and entry into the world of nations.
