The bloc’s foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas has criticised the overwhelmingly male nature of peace negotiation teams, linking it to contemporary diplomacy's tendency toward short-term results.
"This is a bigger problem we see around the world with different peace talks when we see that they don’t actually address the issues of long-standing peace," she said at a press conference in Tallinn, Estonia on Sunday.
The ceasefires many talks yield, she said, too often simply declare hostilities over without resolving the "underlying issues" that perpetuate future violence.
