CrisisWatch is our global conflict tracker, an early warning tool designed to help prevent deadly violence.

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.
