From the supplier: Nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) can play an important role in international conflict prevention and resolution. Characteristics which enable NGOs to be effective include their unofficial status, impartiality, ability to commit to long-term negotiations and capacity to warn of developing conflicts and prevent them. Problems may include lack of authority, heterogeneity of approaches and limits of international humanitarian law. The International Negotiation Network's work in Ethiopia illustrates the potential for NGOs to assist in conflict resolution.
