Northern Uganda

Since the mid-1980s, the civil war between the Ugandan government and the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) has caused great suffering to the people of Acholiland in northern Uganda. Marked by child-abductions and widespread forced displacement, it has become linked to larger geopolitical interests – particularly the conflict in Southern Sudan. A meaningful peace process remains elusive.

The role of the UN

A question of sovereignty: The Georgia–Abkhazia peace process
Oct 1999
S. Neil MacFarlane assesses the UN’s role in the Georgia-Abkhazia conflict, suggesting that it reduced the Georgian sense of isolation and supplied means for survival to refugees, but that it has had little influence over moving towards resolving the conflict.

Georgia–Abkhazia

Following the outbreak of war in August 1992 and the ensuing humanitarian crisis, Georgia and Abkhazia embarked upon a faltering peace process, which today remains unresolved.

Accord 7 explores the background and issues at the heart of the conflict – the Abkhaz demand for sovereignty and why Georgia refuses to grant it. 

The publication offers an insight into political stalemate and flags possible avenues out of deadlock, including the need for political constituencies on both sides to engage more effectively with challenges of democratisation and economic cooperation.
