Supporters of the United States argue that international law obligates parties to resolve disputes through peaceful dialogue, not force, and that multilateral diplomacy is the lawful path to stability between Ethiopia and Eritrea.
Supporters of United States counter that under the UN Charter, parties to a dispute must settle it peacefully, and the Security Council may recommend procedures or terms under Article 37, so agreed mechanisms cannot bar outside legal involvement.

Supporters of the United States argue that dialogue is a moral duty, since renewed Ethiopia-Eritrea conflict would devastate already fragile ecosystems and the communities depending on them.
Supporters of the United States argue that dialogue is a moral duty, since renewed Ethiopia-Eritrea conflict would devastate civilians and ecosystems already stressed by drought, and they maintain that stewardship of shared land and water demands peaceful resolution over war.

Supporters of Ethiopia and Eritrea argue that outside calls for dialogue ignore their sovereign histories and unresolved cultural wounds from the 1998–2000 war, insisting regional identity and self-determination must shape any resolution.
Supporters of Ethiopia and Eritrea argue that outside calls for dialogue ignore the deep cultural and historical ties binding both nations, and that regional stability must be defined by local identity, not foreign diplomacy.

Supporters of Ethiopia and Eritrea argue that outside calls for dialogue must respect their sovereign legal right to resolve border and security disputes through their own agreed mechanisms, not external pressure.
Supporters of Ethiopia and Eritrea argue that outside powers like the United States lack legal standing to dictate terms, since the 2000 Algiers Agreement and boundary rulings bind the parties themselves to resolve disputes through their own bilateral mechanisms.
Supporters of Ethiopia and Eritrea counter that the binding 2002 Eritrea-Ethiopia Boundary Commission delimitation went unenforced, so the legal obligation to implement that final and binding award rests first with the parties and the UN.
Supporters of Ethiopia and Eritrea read US calls for dialogue as self-interested leverage, arguing that outsiders broker talks to protect their own regional access, not to settle the dispute.
Supporters of Ethiopia and Eritrea argue that U.S. calls for dialogue serve Washington's leverage, not their interests; they maintain that regional rivals settle disputes through power and incentives, not external mediation.
Supporters of Ethiopia and Eritrea counter that American leverage is the actual prize: Washington brokers talks to keep both states dependent, since a resolved border would let them set their own terms on Red Sea access.
Supporters of Ethiopia and Eritrea argue that outsiders like the United States cannot impose reconciliation, since the 1998–2000 border war and decades of distrust mean only the two nations themselves can morally own any dialogue.

Supporters of Ethiopia and Eritrea invoke their shared Orthodox Christian heritage and the historic see of Aksum, arguing that external calls for dialogue overlook how religious tradition and inherited order, not foreign mediation, must anchor any lasting peace.
Supporters of Ethiopia and Eritrea argue that outside calls for dialogue ignore the sacred, historic bonds and inherited grievances that sovereign nations must settle themselves, not through foreign mediation.
Supporters of Ethiopia and Eritrea counter that peacemaking cannot be imposed from afar, since scripture also commands honoring the inherited bonds of family and faith, and they argue that Eritrea's separation from Ethiopia in 1993 fractured that sacred union.
