This study on the OSCE’s engagement with insider mediators has been conducted by the German Berghof Foundation and commissioned by the OSCE Conflict Prevention Centre/Operations Service Mediation Support Team jointly with the German OSCE Chairmanship. Insider mediators enjoy an inherent legitimacy and authority to engage with conflict actors and possess potential advantages in comparison to mediators coming from outside a conflict context.
