Shameful concessions = Frozen conflict --- There is a massive difference between resolving an issue and freezing it. Especially in conflict. Should one party be forced to a "Shamefull concession" this can lead to a conflict to become "Frozen" rather than resolved. Meaning: This issue will influence future negotiations and nurture an environment of dislike and distrust, possibly even splitting the party engaging in this concession into those accepting this "defeat" and those not accepting the outcome of this negotiation.
