Working Together to Prevent and Manage Armed Conflicts

Document Actions

119.      In the years since the adoption of the Millennium Declaration, the Executive Heads of the UN system in CEB have increasingly focused on the need for the system to reach a deeper understanding of the underlying causes of armed conflict and to make a more effective, sustained contribution to creating the conditions for lasting peace.

120.     Many parts of the UN system are increasingly engaged in conflict prevention and peace-building activities. A survey in May 2002 evidenced a growing trend in UN organizations and agencies towards incorporating a conflict prevention perspective into their activities—whether geared to fostering economic development, social justice and respect for human rights or to promoting good governance and the rule of law.(26) This chapter focuses in particular on the UN system’s work in managing transitions and protecting civilians in armed conflicts in the wider perspective of peace-building. It also addresses the system’s efforts to counter terrorism.
