European Policy and Laws |
In 2001 the European Community (EC) adopted a Communication on Conflict Prevention whose main objectives were to:
1. make more systematic and coordinated use of EU instruments to get at the root causes of conflict,
2. improve the efficiency of actions targeting specific causes of conflict (the so-called "cross-cutting issues" such as illicit trade of diamonds and small arms),
3. improve EU capacity to react quickly to nascent conflicts, and
4. promote international co-operation with all EU’s partners.
