Action to prevent disputes and escalations between parties
Preventive diplomacy
is action to prevent disputes from arising between parties, to prevent existing disputes from escalating into conflicts and to limit the spread of the latter when they occur.
[1]
Since the end of the
Cold War
the
international community
through international institutions has been focusing on preventive diplomacy. As the
United Nations
and regional organizations as well as global and regional powers discovered the high costs of managing conflict, there is a strong common perception of benevolence of preventive diplomacy. Preventive diplomacy actions can be implemented by the
UN
, regional organizations,
NGO
networks and individual states. One of the examples of preventive diplomacy is the
UN
peacekeeping
mission in
Macedonia
(
UNPREDEP
) in 1995?1999. It was the first UN preventive action.
Preventive measures include:
conflict early warning
,
fact-finding
by
UN missions
or other bodies,
confidence-building measures
,
early deployment
,
humanitarian assistance
, and
demilitarized zones
.
