CrisisWatch

Tracking Conflict Worldwide

CrisisWatch is our global conflict tracker, an early warning tool designed to help prevent deadly violence. It keeps decision-makers up-to-date with developments in over 70 conflicts and crises every month, identifying trends and alerting them to risks of escalation and opportunities to advance peace. In addition, CrisisWatch monitors over 50 situations (“standby monitoring”) to offer timely information if developments indicate a drift toward violence or instability. Entries dating back to 2003 provide easily searchable conflict histories.

Declaration followed months of secret negotiations with U.S. and Britain and visits by American and British inspectors to Libyan sites. Nuclear program reportedly more developed than previously thought; includes advanced uranium enrichment capabilities. Move paves way for possible lifting of U.S. sanctions, in place for almost two decades.
