The School of Advanced International Studies will host a daylong conference, The Geneva Initiative: A Possible Solution to the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict? on Tuesday, Feb. 10.

The conference is sponsored by the Swiss Foundation for World Affairs at SAIS. Panelists will focus on the origins, content and objectives of the Geneva Initiative, how it relates to the Roadmap to Peace and the two-state solution, and how the different initiatives can lead to peace in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Amnon Lipkin-Shahak, a member of the Israeli delegation to the Geneva Initiative, and Nabil Amr, a member of the Palestinian delegation to the Geneva Initiative, will present opening remarks on the topic "Why Geneva, Why Now?" Panel discussions will be "Geneva, the Roadmap to Peace and the Two-State Solution," "Talking Peace: The Impact of a Private Initiative on the Public Debate" and "The Road to Peace."

The event will be held from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the Nitze Building's Kenney Auditorium. Non-SAIS affiliates should reserve a place by e-mailing mclo@jhu.edu or calling 202-663-5942.
