May 2022, in conjunction with the Global Strategy Forum at National Liberal Club in London
Chaired by Tom Tugendhat MP, Chair of the Parliamentary Foreign Affairs Committee, this debate on an often overlooked world showcased the work of negotiators in the Middle East Peace Process, Northern Ireland and other parts of the world.
The event was inspired by Academy Award-nominated Israeli filmmaker Dror Moreh’s “The Human Factor”, a gripping documentary ‘insider’ account of three decades of the Middle East Peace Process from the perspective of the US negotiators involved.
Speakers

• Dror Moreh explained the thinking and process behind the documentary. He discussed his approach to getting US Middle East Peace negotiators and those usually reluctant to see the media limelight to talk on camera. He also discussed his new documentary, Corridors of Power, where he interviewed all living US Secretaries of State from Henry Kissinger up to and including Antony Blinken on how the US decides in which conflicts it should intervene.
• Jonathan Powell provided an insight into the role of a negotiator as former Chief of Staff to Prime Minister Tony Blair and UK chief negotiator in the Northern Ireland Peace Process as well as sharing some other relevant experiences, for example, as Prime Minister David Cameron’s Special Envoy on Libya. Jonathan (along with Martin Griffiths,
  the current UN Under Secretary General for Humanitarian Affairs) is a co-founder of Inter Mediate which advances dialogue and mediation in global conflicts.
