The Role of International Organizations in Mediating Civil Conflicts

Quick fact

Since the end of the Cold War, the UN has been the most prolific mediator of civil conflicts, yet its success rate in achieving durable peace settlements is less than 50%, highlighting the immense difficulty of ending internal wars.

Why this is interesting

You've seen the UN sending peacekeepers to conflict zones, but how does it actually get warring sides to sit at the same table? It's a complex dance between diplomacy and force, and its success is far from guaranteed.
