Mediation is one option you can consider.\n\nMany small claims (municipal) courts sponsor free mediation programs, and other resources may be available in your community.\n\nMediation allows you to work with the other party towards a solution, with help from someone who is trained in dispute resolution.\n\nAlso, check your local province laws regarding privileges relating to settlement negotiations and/or mediation. A solicitor (lawyer) will be able to answer these questions, if you can't find the laws yourself.

The League of Nations (later it become the United Nations).  It dictated arbitration and negotiation rather than conflict.

It depends on the context of the dispute, domestic or foreign. The US government is legally obligated to recognize authority in this order:\n1. US. Constitution\n2. International treaty and convention (international law)\n3. US Federal law. \n\nThe Constitution comes first in order to maintain the autonomous sovereignty of the country. International treaty must be recognized second in legitimizing external entities. Federal law comes third (subsuming state, local, and municipal law) in issues of domestic governance. \n\nThis order explains why the US cannot make laws that discriminate against foreign producers (trade barriers/tariffs) because international law has forbidden it and enforces the law through the World Trade Organization. However, this also explains why international law does not take precedence over U.S. Constitutional law. The U.S. would not recognize a law passed by the U.N. that infringed upon our rights to freedom of speech, religion, etc. \n\nThus, the highest authority would depend on the facet of legality from which the dispute arose.

I believe what you are referring to is in Canada. The Six Nations protests over land disputes. Those disputes have been going on for over 200 years. See website below..

The US did in 1803 when we fought our first over seas war in Monazuma. We were trading with other countries in the Med. sea and we did not pay the "priates" monet to not attack our trade ships. They were called terrorist then. The US went to a short war with the terrorist and won. The Congress adopted a "no negotiation" standard then.

Let's see... one's an island nation, signatory to multiple defense treaties, and the other is a land-locked country with a neutrality policy...\n  One has a small but well-trained Navy, along with an army and air force, while the other's "army" makes pocket knives and over-priced wristwatches...\n\nI think we're going to have to go with New Zealand!

I'm not sure what you are asking, but if you are asking where you can study Peace & Conflict Resolution, I can certainly recommend the University of Alberta.  That program is slated to open in Sept 06, and it's interdisciplinary, so you aren't just studying one discipline, you're studying many.

Huh?  There have been numerous international agreements that limit how wars can be waged.  The simple matter of that is war is bloody, but extremely necessary.  Get over it.  \n\nI'd suggest you read up on the "Law of Armed Conflict"  or "LOAC."

Dear Jessie,\n\nAre you looking for thesis title suggestions?\n\nHow about:\n(a) The conquest and occupation of Iraq by America is neccessary/unneccesary for the stability of the Middle East.\n\n(b) The crisis at North Korea is a threat to the stability of the Asia Pacific region.\n\n(c) The bird flu is a health risk to the human race due to the advancement of global transportation capability.\n\n(d) Global climate changes are due to man-made influences on the environment.\n\n(e) China is now called the world's factory, can this stay true for the long term?

It's invalid.\n\nThe question assumes that the only important input into this was American.  The Treaty was between a number of countries.  The attitudes and negotiating positions of the UK, France etc. were important, too.\n\nWilson was in fact far more realistic than most of the WW1 victors in realising that excessively punitive reparations demands on Germany would be counterproductive.\n\nI hope some of your US History lessons actually acknowledge the existance and importance of other countries in history sometimes!

I don't think it was inevitable. Versialles always gets blamed-- but they couldv'e renegotiated it. Hitler had a lot to do with it-- maybe it was inevitable that the treaty terms made Germans angry, but that doesn't mean they'd definitely go to war over it.

Timor Leste made the first mistake since their independance when they didn't include English as a main language. Is Portuguese their main trading partner today? They should have picked up some ecomonic know-how from Australia or if not their South East Asian counterparts like Singapore. Learnt where to start from scratch not the way they are going, bits of this and that and it all keeps crumbling. Just hope Papua never gains independance, that'll be another total chaos.
