THE UNITED NATIONS AND INTERNAL CONFLICTS IN AFRICA: A DOCUMENTARY SURVEY

THE UNITED NATIONS AND INTERNAL CONFLICTS IN AFRICA: A DOCUMENTARY SURVEY INTRODUCTION The United Nations, and in particular, its Security Council, has been extremely pre-occupied in attempting to settle a number of conflicts in Africa throughout the reporting period (August 1996 to October 1997). During this period, the Security Council has considered conflicts in Angola, Burundi, Congo (formerly Zaire), Liberia, Sierra Leone and Somalia. It also considered other conflicts, such as the situation in the Republic of the Congo and in Central Africa. This report attempts to highlight some of the steps taken by the Security Council for the peaceful settlement of internal conflicts in Africa. The Council remains actively involved with all the major conflicts on the continent of Africa. One notable settlement is the conflict in Liberia, where elections were finally held and a new Government installed.

Abstract

INTRODUCTION The United Nations, and in particular, its Security Council, has been extremely pre-occupied in attempting to settle a number of conflicts in Africa throughout the reporting period (August 1996 to October 1997). During this period, the Security Council has considered conflicts in Angola, Burundi, Congo (formerly Zaire), Liberia, Sierra Leone and Somalia. It also considered other conflicts, such as the situation in the Republic of the Congo and in Central Africa. This report attempts to highlight some of the steps taken by the Security Council for the peaceful settlement of internal conflicts in Africa. The Council remains actively involved with all the major conflicts on the continent of Africa. One notable settlement is the conflict in Liberia, where elections were finally held and a new Government installed. ANGOLA The Angolan conflict continued to be a major pre-occupation of the United Nations Security Council during the period covered by this report.1 1 In his report of 4 October 1996, the Secretary-General observed that while the cease-fire was holding, there had been no significant progress in the implementation of the peace process in Angola. Delays had continued to occur. The delays were mostly due to lack of UNITA's implementation
