CrisisWatch
is a 12-page monthly bulletin designed to provide busy readers in the policy community, media, business and interested general public with a succinct regular update on the state of play in all the most significant situations of conflict or potential conflict around the world.
You can you use the
CrisisWatch
database to follow developments in any conflict situation covered by
CrisisWatch
for any month from 1 September 2003. The database contains the entries from the current and all past editions of
CrisisWatch
.
There are two ways of searching. The first is to select a country from the drop down menu and (optionally) a year. The second is to search using keywords.

The Conflict Histories database offers brief but detailed histories of the conflicts covered by Crisis Group analysts (for more information on Crisis Group's activities, see
About us
), compiled from publicly-available sources. The database contains information on over 50 countries, and is a useful complement to the CrisisWatch database, which provides up-to-date information on conflict developments in countries around the world.
Crisis Group’s conflict histories represent one view of a conflict's history at the time of writing. They are not a substitute for individual research or for the extensive professional literature associated with the majority of these conflicts.
You can search the database by selecting a country from the drop down menu.

The Map database gives you quick and easy access to all Crisis Group country maps. To search, simply select the country from the drop down menu.
All Crisis Group maps are available for use free of charge on condition they are clearly credited using the following: International Crisis Group

this form

Early warning is a critical part of conflict prevention and management, and a core element of Crisis Group's mission. We have compiled a useful list of
Early Warning Resources
, with links to early warning websites ? for violent conflicts, humanitarian crises and natural disasters; risk analysis services; conflict trend analyses; and daily news services for the most current conflict-related information.

Early Warning Resources

We have a number of "priority advocacy pages" to the website, accesible
here
or via the buttons on the right-hand side of the
home page
. These pages highlight those conflicts which we have selected for particular advocacy attention. They pull together extensive resources on the conflicts, setting out the current situation and background, and outlining what action
Crisis Group is seeking. They also provide links to maps, key statistics and documents, Crisis Group reports and op-eds, and reports and reporting by other organisations. As well, these pages offer suggestions as to what you can do to help.
They are essentially a one-stop-shop for internet resources on the conflict in question. You can access the advocacy campaign pages
