Conflict Prevention and Resolution in a Multipolar World: Priorities for the G7

Report

The G7 can more effectively reduce the risks of large-scale violent conflict through investments in multilateral peacemaking and peacebuilding.

This paper, developed by United Nations University’s Centre for Policy Research (UNU-CPR) in support of the G7 meetings on peace and security,

offers an analysis of today’s conflict trends,
highlights the roles of negotiated, non-military settlements to disputes,
argues the business case for G7 engagement in multilateral conflict resolution;
maps the multilateral conflict resolution architecture and the UN Secretary-General’s call for a ‘New Agenda for Peace’; and
proposes a framework for G7 policymaking that will position the group to engage with multilateral conflict resolution for the coming period.
