Abstract
Peace eludes when parties are in conflict and Igbos of south eastern Nigeria strongly believe in the use of neutral third party in maintenance of peace among parties in conflict. There is proverb among Udenu people of Enugu state that “ebo n' ebo gburu onwe ha bu na onye eto anogh” ( parties in conflict kill themselves because third party is not around). Hence, whenever two or more people are in conflict, third party makes considerable effort to settle it thereby restoring peace. Peace committee, neutral third party which is composed of individuals of integrity, that are known and trusted by parties in dispute significantly contribute to peacemaking. The objective of peacemaking is to end violence between contending parties. Peacemaking can be done through negotiation, mediation, conciliation, and arbitration. The main machinery Peace committee use in peacemaking is mediation.
