Nicholas Haysom spoke about how to approach peace agreements in practice and extend their potential benefits to create the strongest foundation of a post-conflict country. In fragile states, the flaws of peace agreements are multiplying and the consequences are disastrous. In addition, there is a misconception that peace agreements will be implemented themselves. It is often, as in Sudan, that once the substantive negotiations are over, there is a haste to sign and implementation is not addressed. After five years of war between Kushite Kandake, Amanirenas and Augustus of Rome, a peace treaty was concluded in 21/20 BC. [15] [16] [17] The mediators were sent to Augustus by Kush, who was in Samos at the time. [18] An agreement between the two parties has been beneficial for both parties. The Kushites were a regional power in their own right and were enthroa in recognition. The Romans also sought a quiet southern border for their supply of Egyptian grains absolutely indispensable, without permanent war obligations, and saluting a friendly buffer state in a border region harassed by raids by nomads.
The Kushites also seem to have felt nomads like the Blemmye as a problem. [19] The conditions were ripe for an agreement. During the negotiations, Augustus granted the Kushite envoys everything they asked for and also cancelled the tribute previously requested by Rome. [20] The premmis (Qasr Ibrim) and the areas north of Qasr Ibrim, in the southern part of the Thirty-Mile Strip, were ceded to the Kushites. The Dodecaschoinos were set up as a buffer zone and Roman troops were pulled back to the ancient Greek Ptolemaic border near Maharraqa. [21] The Roman emperor Augustus signed the contract with the Kozhites on Samos. The colony bought peace and calm in Rome on its Egyptian border, as well as the image of the Roman emperor Augustus, showed its abilities and ability to transmit peace without permanent war, and business with the distant Kouzhites, who shortly before had fought against his troops. The respect that the emperor granted by the kushit messengers, as the treaty also gave a positive impression to other foreign ambassadors to Samos, including envoys from India, and to the hand of Augustus in the upcoming negotiations with the mighty Parthers. [22] The colony sounded a period of peace between the two rich for about three centuries.
The inscriptions erected by Queen Amanirenas on an ancient temple in Hamadab, south of Meroe, record the war and the favourable result from a Cushian point of view. [23] With his signing in the official contract, the Roman emperor Augustus marked the agreement by adorning his administrators to collaborate with regional priests for the construction of a temple in Dendur, and inscriptions show the emperor himself who celebrates the local pittes. [24] The terms « global agreements » and « framework agreements » are often used interchangeably. There is, however, a slight difference between the two types of agreements: ceasefire agreements themselves are generally ephemeral and fragile. If the ceasefire is to be maintained, they must be quickly followed by other agreements. Phase 4: Building Scenarios and Negotiating Once the parties have decided to work together on a common solution, citizens and officials will apply two different approaches, a dialogue and lasting negotiations. They also target two different but complementary products, each of which reflects specific skills and roles. Citizens will seek to change their relationship that will allow them to work together in a consensual way within society as a whole.
Officials are working to get a formal and written agreement.
