Your work seems to be focused on resolving armed conflict. Can conflicts be prevented?
We monitor situations around the world that could erupt into conflict to detect the earliest signs of trouble. Keeping alert to conflict prevention often represents an opportunity to divert violence that is overlooked or recognized too late.
Parties in dispute sometimes seek a neutral third party such as The Carter Center to facilitate dialogue in an effort to avert violence. After an attempted coup in Venezuela, the Center worked to advance discussions between the government and opposing factions. This dialogue helped to prevent a descent into internal armed conflict.
In response to ethnic divisiveness in Guyana, we helped to mitigate violence by instituting workshops on conflict prevention techniques for leaders of the nation's business and civil society organizations.
