Abstract

Esta investigación se centra en las oportunidades y barreras de la diplomacia de paz virtual,
examinando los diferentes aspectos de este enfoque y analizando su posible impacto en el proceso
de paz. En una época en la que los conflictos han evolucionado hacia nuevas formas de guerra,
las complejidades de la mediación se han intensificado. Además, la llegada de la pandemia de
COVID-19, junto con la amplia disponibilidad de herramientas digitales, ha transformado la
diplomacia de paz y, por tanto, el papel de los mediadores. La investigación pretende descubrir
qué influencia tiene el entorno cambiante que rodea a los procesos de paz en la negociación de la
paz y cómo pueden adaptarse los mediadores a ese entorno de la manera más eficaz. Para ello, se
estudiarán todas las vías introducidas por el Marco de la Diplomacia Multidireccional y se pondrán
de relieve las diferencias de enfoque entre ellas. La investigación proporcionará un análisis en
profundidad de las complicaciones relativas a la creación de confianza virtual en las negociaciones
de paz en el contexto de Yemen. Para ello, se tendrán en cuenta los anteriores intentos de paz de la
ONU en Yemen y se examinará el panorama actual del país.
