I 2026 har vi våknet til en verden der makt trumfer rett: Hva skjer med internasjonalt diplomati og dialog nå?

I Venezuela fjernet USA diktatoren Nicolas Maduro med makt. I Iran slås demonstrantene brutalt ned, mens president Trump truer med å gripe inn med våpen mot regimet. Ser vi slutten på en regelstyrt verdensorden basert på internasjonal lov? Er diplomati og dialog fortsatt mulig når makta rår? Hva skal til for at folk på bakken i Venezuela, Iran og andre land rammet av konflikt skal få det bedre? Og hva kan verdenssamfunnet lære av involveringen i Afghanistan?

Du møter:

• Arne Strand, Seniorforsker ved Chr. Mikkelsens Institutt

• Johan Vibe, direktør ved NOREF

• Ayesha Wolasmal, diplomat, journalist og forfatter av boken "Tusen dager med Taliban"

• Kristian Berg Harpviken, direktør for det Norske Nobelinstitutt

Samtalen blir moderert av Kjersti Fløgstad, direktør ved Nobels Fredssenter.
