International Relations
Strategic communication, dispute prevention and conflict resolution skills are especially important in the international arena. Pacific Resolutions has provided our negotiation, mediation and facilitation services to departments of nation-states as well as to international institutions. We specialize in designing and implementing processes that enable diplomats and interested parties to communicate effectively with one another and ultimately reach an agreement.

Central Asia transboundary water infrastructure development negotiations
Retained by the UN Department of Political Affairs, Pacific Resolutions mediated discussions between states in Central Asia on a framework treaty for transboundary water management. Thanks in part to our services, the threat of violence between the states in question has subsided. The states have increased their cooperation and are building towards such an enduring agreement in spite of political, cultural and geographical challenges.

Strategic Plan For Canadian Governance Assistance to the Iraqi Marshlands
The Iraqi marshlands were substantially drained and poisoned by the previous regime in Iraq, resulting in the devastation of the marshland ecosystems and the Marshland Arab communities that depend upon them. Pacific Resolutions was retained by CIDA to meet with 75 Iraqi officials in Amman, Jordan, to develop a strategy for Canadian support in the governance area. Subsequent assistance from Canada and other nations has supported restoration of the marshlands and the marshland communities.
