Armed conflicts are spreading across the globe. Their impact extends far beyond the conflict zones themselves, through humanitarian crises, refugee flows, economic uncertainty, and increasing pressure on the international system.
“Few wars end with the complete victory of one side. The vast majority of wars end at the negotiating table. This is a reminder that diplomacy remains essential. What makes Norway relevant is our long-term credibility and our close contact with key states,” said Minister of Foreign Affairs Espen Barth Eide.
There were at least 65 active armed conflicts worldwide in 2025, the highest number recorded in any year since 1945. Even more concerning is the growing number of conflicts taking place between states, conflicts many believed belonged to the history books. Russia's war against ukraine is one example. Last year alone, there were eight interstate conflicts, also the highest number since the second world war.
The rising level of conflict underscores the need for peace diplomacy. This work is not only about preventing and ending wars, but also about safeguarding the international rules designed to limit human suffering when conflicts do occur.
“A lack of respect for international humanitarian law is unfortunately a defining feature of many of today’s wars and conflicts. This makes the situation even more dangerous for civilians and complicates the work of humanitarian organizations assisting those affected. When attacks on civilians, hospitals, and critical infrastructure become part of warfare, international law comes under pressure,” said Eide.
The programme at this year’s Oslo Forum covers wars and conflicts around the world, international humanitarian law in wartime, and maritime security. Dedicated sessions will focus on, among other regions, the Middle East, West Africa, Latin America, and the Horn of Africa.
Participants at this year’s Oslo Forum include Kenyan President William Ruto, foreign ministers from the Sahel, a number of high-level representatives from the Middle East, Asia, Europe, and Latin America, the United Kingdom’s National Security Adviser, and China’s special envoy for the Middle East. Representatives from the United Nations, regional organizations, and civil society will also attend. All participants bring extensive experience in peacebuilding and conflict resolution
