    Human rights and conflict resolution have been traditionally perceived as two separate fields, sometimes in competition or in tension and occasionally with contradictory approaches towards achieving a lasting peace. Although human rights norms have been incorporated and institutionalized by various national, regional and international organizations that deal with conflict resolution, in practice, negotiators and mediators are often pressured to overlook international human rights principles in favor of compliance and more immediate outcomes. The chapters in this volume navigate the relationship between human rights and conflict resolution by fleshing out practical, conceptual and institutional encounters of the two agendas and then by engaging with lessons learned and windows of opportunities for mutual learning.
