Chapter IV. Work with Others to Defuse Regional Conflicts
Section C. The Way Ahead - 2. Conflict Intervention
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Some conflicts pose such a grave threat to our broader interests and values that conflict
intervention may be needed to restore peace and stability. Recent experience has
underscored that the international community does not have enough high-quality military
forces trained and capable of performing these peace operations. The Administration has
recognized this need and is working with the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO)
to improve the capacity of states to intervene in conflict situations. We launched the
Global Peace Operations Initiative at the 2004 G-8 Summit to train peacekeepers for duty
in Africa. We are also supporting United Nations (U.N.) reform to improve its ability to
carry out peacekeeping missions with enhanced accountability, oversight, and results-
based management practices.
