Simulated Negotiation: Daniel Levy on the 2003 Geneva Accords
16 February, 2005:
Daniel Levy, a lead drafter of the (2003) Geneva Accords developed by a freelance team of Israeli opposition leaders and a team of Palestinians led by Yassir Abd-Rabbo, spoke at Brown University about the effects of the independent draft agreement on the peace process.
The Accords are interesting because they present the possiblity that independent practicioners and advisory bodies can influence actual negotiation processes through simulated agreements. The Watson Institute is currently examining the utility of simulations, regularly hosting conventions of the U.N. Security Council for negotiation scenarios and hosting symposia on War Gaming and simulated conflict management.
According to Levy, the high-profile simulated negotiations 'helped drive the actual peace process' that has intensified since the Palestinian elections by putting symbolic political and media pressure on both governments, as well as developing a practical draft document to serve as a departure point for further negotiation among interested parties.
The U.S. State Department and the United Nations semi-endorsed the draft after close scrutiny, declaring support for 'follow-up progress on implementation.'
The Accords also identified several areas of overlapping mutual interest between Palestinian and Israeli leadership, including withdrawal from Gaza, and the Accords spurred the Sharon government to move ahead with a unilateral disengagement peace plan as an alternative.
