Through exclusive access to key actors during the Colombian negotiations with the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia People's Army (FARC), Sophie Haspeslagh sheds light on how proscription hinders and prolongs these crucial dialogues.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHaspeslagh introduces the concept of a \"linguistic ceasefire\" to enhance our understanding of the timing and sequencing of peace processes in the context of proscription. This ceasefire consists of three key components: recognizing the conflict, discarding the \"terrorist label,\" and uncoupling the act and the actor. By implementing these measures, even when de-listing is not feasible prior to negotiations, the symbolic impact of proscription can be reduced.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe relevance of this book extends to more than half of the conflicts worldwide where armed groups are designated as terrorist organizations. By shifting the focus from acts to actors, Haspeslagh argues that international policy can better address the violent actions of both armed groups and state actors. By separating the act and the actor, the potential for change and, ultimately, peace arises.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book aligns with United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 16, which aims for peace, justice, and strong institutions. By examining the impact of proscription on peace negotiations, Proscribing peace contributes to the ongoing efforts to promote peaceful resolutions to conflicts and foster a more stable and peaceful global environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\\n                            \u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 502g\\n                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 164 x 241 x 21 (mm)\\n                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781526157591\\n                            \\n                          \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sophie Haspeslagh","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44099565584634,"sku":"9781526157591","price":75.86,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/82b7ba4e261425d1f70ff738a318f6d4.jpg?v=1633922389","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/proscribing-peace-how-listing-armed-groups-as-terrorists-hurts-negotiations","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
