This book offers a new way of understanding the role of the
mediator in teaching parties the interrelationship between
sustainable peace, forgiveness, and international justice. It
argues that the arrival of social media presents new opportunities
for reaching sustainable peace agreements, through their use in
gathering the detailed information that can match victims and
perpetrators of past atrocities. The author aims to advance a more
expansive understanding of the subjects and limitations of making
peace in the shadow of international law by examining the concepts
of mediation and forgiveness that exist alongside law. To that end,
the book offers an account of the role of the mediator that emerges
from the interplay between Ricouerian imagination and forgiveness
and predicts ever-greater opportunities for making peace and
protecting human rights that can be facilitated by a harnessing of
social media as a tool for making peace with justice. The author
also aims to examine how strategies for sustaining the peace must
combat the inevitable frustrations with democracy that can lead to
a slide into dictatorship. Assad, Obama, and the UN leadership and
their decisions concerning making and maintaining peace in Syria
are used as case studies to examine the interplay between a
leaders' religious beliefs, faith in democracy and rule of law, and
impulses towards totalitarianism.
