Diplomacy: Involves negotiation, representation, communication, information gathering, and treaty-making.

Diplomacy: Can be bilateral (between two states) or multilateral (involving multiple states or international organizations).

Conflict Resolution Mechanisms (UN Charter Chapter VI):

Negotiation: Direct discussions between conflicting parties.

Mediation: A third party facilitates communication and helps find common ground (e.g., UN, Turkey, China in Ukraine conflict).

Good Offices: A third party provides a channel for communication without actively participating in negotiations.

Inquiry/Fact-finding: Impartial investigation of facts to clarify a dispute.

Conciliation: A third party investigates and proposes non-binding solutions.

Arbitration: A third party makes a binding decision based on legal principles.

Judicial Settlement: Resolution through international courts (e.g., ICJ).

Aims to prevent, manage, and resolve disputes without resorting to the use of force.

Requires willingness from all parties to compromise, build trust, and seek mutually acceptable solutions.

Often involves 'Track I' (official government-to-government) and 'Track II' (unofficial, non-state actor) diplomacy.
