Conflict
Halting this deepening cycle of conflict and creating conditions for peace and stability depends upon several strategies.
One is international intervention to halt or at least limit the spread of armed conflict at an early stage to minimize casualties and diminish economic, social, and environmental damage.
Another is to expose and curtail illicit transfers of weapons, money, and natural resources used to support and extend conflicts.
Most important in the long-term is to promote social health, human rights, economic reform and sustainable development, and effective, democratic governance under which all groups are fairly represented and resources are more equitably distributed.
