Attention to the topic of conflict prevention has become heightened in recent years. In September 2011 the office of the United Nations Secretary-General released its first report focused specifically on preventive diplomacy; the report was subsequently discussed at the Security Council under the presidency of Lebanon. This paper aims to contribute to these ongoing discussions by providing a primer on the UN’s work on conflict prevention and ideas for improving the Security Council’s work in this area.
