Third Party Non-violent Intervention

Third Party Non-violent Intervention

Third Party Non-violent Intervention refers to the practice of intervening from the outside in violent conflicts with the aim of resolving them. The intervention can be either as an intermediary in a negotiating capacity or, physically, by interposing one's body between the warring factions.

Examples of groups that espouse this practice are Christian Peacemaker Teams, Muslim Peacemaker Teams, and Peace Brigades International.
