I år er det 30 år siden Yasser Arafat, Yitzhak Rabin og Shimon Peres ble tildelt Nobels fredspris for sin innsats for å skape fred i Midtøsten, og for sitt bidrag i dialogen om en fredelig løsning på konflikten mellom Palestina og Israel. Året før hadde de tre forhandlet frem Oslo-avtalen. Både avtalen og fredspristildelingen er fortsatt aktuell og kontroversiell – 30 år senere. Hvilken betydning har Osloavtalen for utviklingen av konflikten mellom Palestina og Israel og krigen i Gaza i dag? Og hva kan verdenssamfunnet lære av denne avtalen? Møt: Kjersti Fløgstad, direktør ved Nobels Fredssenter Olav Njølstad, direktør ved Det Norske Nobelinstitutt og sekretær for Nobelkomiteen Sidsel Wold, forfatter og journalist, Midtøstenkorrespondent i NRK Jørgen Jensehaugen, seniorforsker ved fredsforskningsinstituttet (PRIO)

Welcome to a conversation about The Power of Dialogue in Northern Ireland's Peace Journey. This is a dialogue between Mr. Mark Durkan, who was part of the negotiating team for the Good Friday Agreement in 1998, and the Director of the Norwegian Nobel Institute, Olav Njølstad. The conversation is moderated by Kjersti Fløgstad, Executive Director of the Nobel Peace Center. In 1998, the Norwegian Nobel Committee awarded the Nobel Peace Prize to John Hume and David Trimble in recognition of their brave leadership in finding a peaceful resolution to the conflict in Northern Ireland. Twenty-five years on from the awarding of the prize in Oslo and twenty-six from the signing of the Good Friday Agreement, we remember the pivotal roles of John Hume and David Trimble in building the Agreement and transforming life on the island of Ireland. Join us to discuss the importance of dialogue in peace-building, the legacy of their determination, and leadership in Northern Ireland’s peace journey.
