Overview

Secretary-General, Kofi Annan, has pledged to move the United Nations from a culture of reaction to a culture of prevention. Realizing that it is far better and more cost-effective to prevent violent conflicts than to cure them, the Secretary-General has undertaken a review of practical actions that have been and are being taken within the United Nations to prevent conflict. This report looks at the progress that has been achieved in developing the conflict prevention capacity of the United Nations. It also provides recommendations on how efforts of the United Nations system in this field could be further enhanced, with the cooperation and active involvement of Member States, who ultimately have primary responsibility for conflict prevention. This report stresses that conflict prevention lies at the heart of the mandate of the United Nations in the maintenance of international peace and security, and that a general consensus is emerging among Member States that comprehensive and coherent conflict prevention strategies offer the greatest potential for promoting lasting peace.
