General

The fundamental issue in relations between people is how to manage conflict. That’s true for relations between individuals, between states, and at every level in between.

Whether people can manage their disputes productively and caringly will decide whether or their relationship – whether as friends, partners, colleagues, whatever – will continue.

As we look to summer, it is hard not to reflect on what an eventful spring it has been on the international stage.

From a historic revolution in Egypt to the violent civil conflict that has erupted in Libya – the need for peace is back in the spotlight.

International Alert is an independent peacebuilding organisation that has worked for over 20 years to lay the foundations for lasting peace and security in communities affected by violent conflict. Our multifaceted approach focuses both in and across various regions; aiming to shape policies and practices that affect peacebuilding; and helping build skills and capacity through training.

Le rapport dresse les contours du secteur de la paix et aide à comprendre les enjeux auxquels les acteurs font face.

Since 1996, the Democratic Republic of Congo, and in particular the provinces of North and South Kivu, have been the scene of internal and international armed conflict. This violence has its roots in the country’s political history and is fuelled by a particularly unstable regional context.
