CrisisWatch NÂ40
1 December 2006

November overtook July 2006 as the worst month for conflict prevention 
since CrisisWatch began publication 40 months ago.

Fourteen situations deteriorated in November, with seven conflict risk 
alerts (in anticipation of new or significantly escalated conflict). 
Improvements were noted during November in only three situations, and no 
new conflict resolution opportunities were identified for the coming month.
