2nd principle: focus on interests, not positions: It is important in principled negotiations not to focus on their parties' positions (what are expressed during negotiations), but on the interests (underlying needs) behind them

4th principle: insist on using objective criteria: is about making sure that the negotiation stays focused on outcomes based on objective criteria and that it is productive.
