preventive diplomacy |

A term used by the UN\'s second Secretary-General, Dag Hammarskjöld, to refer both to his ‘quiet diplomacy’ and to peacekeeping operations. It then fell into disuse. But in 1992 the then Secretary-General, Boutros Boutros-Ghali, called for more ‘preventive diplomacy’, by which he meant not just his personal diplomatic activity but also fact-finding and the ‘preventive deployment’ of ‘peacekeeping’ missions within and between states, the latter not necessarily with the agreement of both sides. A mission with this term in its title operated on the Macedonian border with Yugoslavia and Albania from 1995 to 1999. The variety of activities that the term has been used to designate makes it an unsatisfactory one. |
