It
is time to discuss the new trends in the international community´s response to major
peace and security challenges. As globalisation advances, violent conflicts in
a far flung corner of the world can easily gain a wider dimension and have a
regional or even a larger impact. They also tend to have dramatic humanitarian
consequences, hand in hand with extremely serious human rights violations.
Is the international machinery ready to
address such threats in an urgent and comprehensive manner? What to do if the
UN Security Council is unwilling to agree on an appropriate response? How to
address the issues of urgency and comprehensiveness? Is development assistance,
as practiced during the last decades, geared towards strengthening human
security and reinforcing peace building? How is public opinion in the developed
world being influenced when it comes to reacting to crisis in distant lands?
