This chapter examines nonviolence as conflict resolution method in Kenya, and postulates that the advantages presented by nonviolence stand to help society overcome the trappings presented by violence. The author explores the idea of violence as laid out in the narrative and structure of the Kenyan society, the plausible reasons that gives rise to violence as a way of agitation for perceived rights and freedoms, and resolving conflicts.This chapter has focused on the history of Kenya with respect to the aspirations that existed during the time of clamor for independence and how the inability to make those dreams a reality curtailed the dreams, hopes, and aspirations of many who fought for independence and therefore creating a disenfranchised population, and above all, planting seeds of violence. This chapter observes that economic empowerment is a necessary tool to inculcate the theme of nonviolence in society. The author suggests using activities such as soccer and other related sports to create ambassadors and warriors for nonviolence.

Conflict Resolutions

Abstract: This article describe the conflict resolution carried out by the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) in the Mecca-Medina War. The Mecca-Medina War itself was a war that took place between Mecca Quraysh against the Muslims in the early period of Islamic history. This war took the largest portion of the conflict that occurred throughout Muhammad's prophetic history. The research method used in this study was historical research. The results of this study are expected to contribute ideas in conflict resolution by relying on the history of the Prophet (PBUH). The results of the study indicate that dialogue, migration, peace agreements, ceasefire and amnesty are conflict resolutions carried out by the Prophet (PBUH) in the Mecca-Medina War. The Prophet (PBUH) ended the war against the Quraysh of Mecca by diminishing casualties and narrowing the space for war. In the modern context which radicalism in the name of religion has caused many conflicts, this sirah nabawiyah-based conflict resolution method is quite relevant to be applied in resolving theological-based conflicts in the Muslim World globally.الملخص: سوف تصف المقالة التالية حل النزاع الذي قام به النبي محمد (ص) في حرب مكة المكرمة. كانت حرب مكة-المدينة بحد ذاتها حرباً بين مكة قريش ضد المسلمين في الفترة المبكرة من التاريخ الإسلامي. أخذت هذه الحرب الجزء الأكبر من الصراع الذي حدث طوال تاريخ النبي محمد. طريقة البحث المستخدمة في هذه الدراسة هي طريقة البحث التاريخي مع نهج علم الحرب. من المتوقع أن تسهم نتائج هذه الدراسة بأفكار في حل النزاع بالاعتماد على تاريخ الرسول (صلى الله عليه وسلم). تشير نتائج الدراسة إلى أن الحوار والهجرة واتفاقيات السلام ووقف إطلاق النار والعفو هي قرارات صراع يقوم بها النبي (ص) في حرب مكة المكرمة. مع حل النزاع هذا ، أنهى الرسول صلى الله عليه وسلم الحرب ضد قريش مكة من خلال التقليل من الخسائر وتضييق مساحة الحرب. في السياق الحديث حيث تسبب التطرف باسم الدين في الكثير من الصراعات ، فإن طريقة حل النزاع القائمة على نبراية السرايا ذات صلة بالغة لتطبيقها في حل الصراعات القائمة على أسس لاهوتية في العالم الإسلامي وعلى الصعيد الدولي                   Abstrak: Artikel berikut ini akan menguraikan mengenai  resolusi konflik yang dijalankan Nabi Muhammad Saw. dalam Perang Mekah-Madinah. Perang Mekah-Madinah sendiri adalah perang yang berlangsung antara Quraisy Mekah melawan Kaum Muslimin pada periode awal sejarah Islam. Perang ini mengambil porsi terbesar dalam konflik yang terjadi sepanjang sejarah  kenabian Muhammad Saw. Metode penelitian yang digunakan dalam kajian ini adalah metode penelitian sejarah dengan pendekatan ilmu perang. Hasil dari kajian ini diharapkan dapat memberi sumbangan pemikiran dalam resolusi konflik dengan bersandar pada sejarah Nabi Saw. sendiri. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahwa dialog, hijrah, perjanjian-perjanjian damai, gencatan senjata dan amnesti adalah resolusi konflik yang dijalankan Nabi Saw. dalam Perang Mekah-Madinah. Dengan resolusi konflik tersebut, Nabi Saw. mengakhiri perang melawan Quraisy Mekah dengan meminimalisir korban dan mempersempit ruang cakup perang. Dalam konteks modern dimana radikalisme atas nama agama telah menyebabkan terjadinya banyak konflik, metode resolusi konflik berbasis sirah nabawiyah ini cukup relevan untuk diaplikasikan dalam menyelesaikan konflik berbasis teologi didalam Dunia Muslim maupun dunia internasional.

Prior Analysis

This chapter reviews the broader principles in the international intellectual property (IP) system that fulfil an indirect integration or conflict resolution function, with a focus on those emanating from and applicable to the Trade Related Aspects of International Property Rights (TRIPS) Agreement. In focusing on Articles 7 and 8 of TRIPS, the chapter builds on prior analysis about the role of these provisions in establishing an agreed, common object and purpose of the principal global IP treaty with relevance beyond TRIPS. In light of the origins and negotiation history of Articles 7 and 8 TRIPS, the chapter shows how these provisions can be applied to integrate ‘external’ objectives and interests via interpretation and implementation. Next, this chapter reviews their very poor record of application in the first twenty years of World Trade Organisation (WTO) dispute settlement. It concludes with suggestions for an appropriate recognition of external norms, objectives, and interests via Articles 7 and 8.

Research Questions

History of justice is not only the history of state justice. Rather, we often deal with a coexistence of state, parastatal and non-state courts. Interesting research questions emerge out of this constellation: Where are notions of just conflict resolution most likely to be enforceable? To what extent is non-state jurisdiction a mode of self-regulation of social groups who define themselves by means of ethnic, religious or functional criteria? How do state and non-state ambitions interact? This collective volume contains contributions exploring non-state and parastatal justice between the 17th century and the present in Europe, Asia, North America as well as from a global perspective.

The Relationship

<p>Indonesia and Timor Leste have had an irrelevant relationship related to the history of Seroja Operation on 7 December 1975 when the TNI, formerly known as ABRI (Armed Forces of the Republic of Indonesia) carried out a total military operation in order to keep Timor Leste for not separate from Indonesia, while later it caused losses where many TNI and <em>Falintil- Forças De Defesa De Timor Leste</em> (F-FDTL)’s personnel were killed in the war. Time passed, now the relationship between both countries is getting better due to the efforts from the Indonesian and Timor Leste’s parties, especially the national armies, had been done. To solve the conflict between those countries, defense diplomacy is needed. In this article, the writers tend to describe how both armed forces conduct defense diplomacy so Indonesia and Timor Leste’s relationship is getting better, indeed now both countries have done some collaborations in some aspects in the economy and military. Later, the writers will analyze more to find out the best conflict resolution that had been done by both armed forces, and the existence of each State Leaders’ participation. It is clearly stated that by utilizing defense diplomacy through visiting state leaders, having an official meeting, holding military cooperation such as doing exchange troops are some best ways of conflict resolution that can be done by Indonesia and Timor Leste to create a better relationship.</p><p>Keywords: Defense Diplomacy, Conflict Resolution, Indonesia National Army (TNI), F-FDTL, Timor Leste</p>

ABSTRACT Considering the shortcomings of current methods for real-time resolution of two-aircraft flight conflicts, a geometric optimal conflict resolution and recovery method based on the velocity obstacle method for two aircraft and a cooperative conflict resolution method for multiple aircraft are proposed. The conflict type was determined according to the relative position and velocity of the aircraft, and a corresponding conflict mitigation strategy was selected. A resolution manoeuvre and a recovery manoeuvre were performed. On the basis of a two-aircraft conflict resolution model, a multi-aircraft cooperative conflict resolution game was constructed to identify an optimal solution for maximising group welfare. The solution and recovery method is simple and effective, and no new flight conflicts are introduced during track recovery. For multi-aircraft conflict resolution, an equilibrium point that maximises the welfare function of the group was identified, and thus, an optimal strategy for multi-aircraft conflict resolution was obtained.

Leadership Model

From the Triple A Leadership model, this chapter shares a story of four women who gained economic empowerment through a bakery project whose success can be attributed to the application of the three tenets of this model, namely; accountable, attitude and approach. The first A denotes that ‘Accountability' is an indispensable aspect of leadership while ‘Attitude' is the other basic element. The theory further highlights that ‘approach' is fundamental to good leadership. The four women displayed self-reinforcing attitude that gave rise to increased interest in the project resulting in self- empowerment. It is clear that when people' personalities display leadership skills such as awareness of individual differences, responsibility, conflict resolution, tensions can be avoided as was the case with women who owned the bakery. In reality different situations call for different leadership styles, different actions, different strategies and this case illustrates that Triple A leadership was the appropriate approach.

The Moro Nationalism Liberation Front (MNLF) has long been perceived by the Philippine government as a threat. The continuity of this conflict resulted in the instability of the Philippine state which also affects its relations with other countries. Indonesia as a neighboring country and one region with the Philippines helped to resolve the conflict between the Philippine government and MNLF. The presence of Indonesia became a history of Indonesian diplomacy for the world peace struggle contained in Indonesia’s Preamble of the 1945 Constitution. This paper is attempts to answer that question using conflict theory from Max Weber which focuses on interaction in conflict resolution. The results of this paper indicates that Indonesian’s role in mediating the conflict resolution process resulted in a Final Peace Agreement which is the final peace agreement between the Philippine Government and MNLF.Keywords: Moro Nationalism Liberation Front (MNLF), Philippine, Indonesia, conflict resolution, Final Peace Agreement, mediation
