Negotiation is one of the key methods for resolving international conflicts. As implied
by the term "international negotiation," such negotiations take place between two nations. It
is the process of discussion and bargaining between representatives of two states or
international organisations with the aim of reaching to agreeable agreements over disputes
involving opposing viewpoints and different objectives (Fundamentals of Negotiation, n.d.).
To put it simply, it is a method of dealing with conflict. It does provide a means of resolving
conflicts without fighting or using violence. International negotiations can be bilateral or
multilateral, public or private, formal or informal, and facilitated by third parties or mediators
(Gardner, 2018). Effective communication, strategic thinking, cultural sensitivity, and
originality are just a few of the skills needed for successful international negotiation.
Different conditions and contexts might lead to international negotiations. One of the
common scenarios is diplomatic negotiations, where representatives of countries or
international organizations are involved in discussing and resolving issues such as territorial
disputes, border conflicts or diplomatic relations. Moreover, through trade negotiations, in
which nations bargain over terms of tariffs, quotas, market access, and intellectual property
rights as well as trade agreements, trade disputes, and other issues. For example,
discussions held within the World Trade Organisation (WTO) or regional trade agreements
(Regional trade agreements, n.d.). Furthermore, environmental issues are the subject of
international negotiations. Climate change biodiversity conservation, and pollution are global
environmental issues discussed in these negotiations. Last but not least, international
negotiations are held to develop and preserve human rights globally by adopting
conventions and agreements on issues like slavery and torture, gender inequality, and child
labour (10 Examples of Human Rights, n.d.).
However, the P5+1 countries, who are third-party nations in this case, had, to some
extent, acted as mediators in helping negotiations between the United States and Iran.
Some of the suggestions have been given, such as preserving open lines of communication
and recognising shared interests, are expected to aid in the negotiations to settle the U.S.-
Iran Nuclear Deal issue. This is due to the numerous advantages of open communication,
which can increase trust between the United States and Iran during the nuclear negotiations.
All parties involved can better comprehend one another's viewpoints and intentions by
removing misconceptions through open and honest conversation. Overall, the nuclear Iran
has taught us several things, including how to understand each side's priorities, decide on
the agreement's ultimate terms, giving up threatening language, and being prepared to
reach a face-saving agreement that benefits both parties.
