14.1 Excuses and Responses

There is no doubt that effective preventive diplomacy and conflict management for conflicts not prevented are frequently practiced and are viewed as a good thing. Yet instances of egregious conflict are allowed to slip through the cracks in prevention and arrive at the point where they challenge management. Six reasons for this failure are often advanced, but each has an appropriate response if conflict resolution is to be achieved.1.It is hard to see a conflict coming so as to take action in time. Conference participants emphasized that early warning abounds. Even if the future date of a crisis may not be able to be identified beforehand, there is plenty of information publicly available about impending conflict situations and even about likely crisis points (except in the UN Secretariat, which is woefully bereft of intelligence and early warning facilities) . The real problem is rather one of sorting out likely crises from simply dangerous situations.
