Abstract
International conflict involves disputes between nation-states, individuals, and organizations across different countries. It also encompasses internal intergroup conflicts within a single country, especially when a group seeks independence or aims to gain more social, political, or economic influence. While these disagreements and conflicts may be unpleasant and offensive, they are essential for human growth and development. Eliminating conflict or disagreement entirely is very challenging, but it can be effectively managed. One way to manage disagreements is through conflict resolution between the involved parties. This conflict resolution requires well-defined and effective approaches to achieve positive outcomes. This research work presents conflict resolution approaches based on the letter written to Malik Ashtar by Imam Ali. Using library research, descriptive, and analytical methods, four conflict resolution approaches were derived from the letter to serve as a guide for managing conflicts. These approaches include accepting the peace proposed by the enemy, being cautious after reaching a peace agreement, fulfilling all commitments, and ensuring clarity in the terms and conditions of the peace treaty. A discussion and analysis were conducted on these approaches.
