THIRD PARTIES & CONFLICT PREVENTION

 

 

Mediation and arbitration have been seen as core instruments for avoiding violent conflict and achieving peace since the early years of the international peace movements. Third parties have obvious roles and responsibilities in conflict prevention efforts.

 

Conceived in partnership with Uppsala University (Sweden), this fifth and final Anna Lindh volume on Conflict Prevention, released in January 2008, brings together political and diplomatic practitioners with academic analysts. It highlights the ambitions and achievements of various third parties in conflict prevention. Several contributions present and discuss the potential of the United Nations system. There are case studies of the capabilities and activities of the European Union in the South Caucasus, the Middle East and West Africa, and of the Council of Europe as a conflict prevention mechanism.
