Multilateral Strategies for Conflict Prevention

This meeting report presents a synthesis of discussions of these questions that took place during the sixteenth New York Seminar on May 4-6, 2011. It also summarizes key recommendations made by participants at the meeting.

The report finds:
  • Multilateral conflict prevention has undergone significant change in recent years.
  • Capabilities, working methods, and the normative framework for multilateral conflict prevention have evolved considerably in response to greater receptiveness by many states facing conflict risks and increasing preparedness by third parties to engage in preventive diplomacy and structural prevention.
  • This trend has been accompanied by a proliferation of the number of third states, international organizations and nongovernmental organizations undertaking preventive action.
  • Achieving coordination and coherence among these numerous third parties in their pursuit of preventive goals constitutes a critical challenge.
