Dimensions Regionales des Conflits dans les Grands Lacs

The document reports on a regional workshop organized by the International Conference on the Great Lakes Region (ICGLR), the UN Regional Centre on Small Arms (RECSA), and the Institute for Security Studies (ISS) in Nairobi. The workshop focused on the regional dimensions of conflicts in the Great Lakes Region, specifically addressing the roles of clandestine armed groups, illegal resource exploitation, and cross-border ethnicity in prolonging violence. Participants from Burundi, Rwanda, Uganda, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Tanzania, and Kenya committed to developing initiatives for inclusive democracy, good governance, and the sustainable use of natural resources. The ISS was mandated to coordinate a partners' meeting to create a regional roadmap for sustainable peace.

• Conflicts in the Great Lakes Region have been prolonged by regional dimensions, specifically proxy wars conducted by clandestine armed groups that frequently shift their bases across borders.
• Workshop participants committed to addressing the root causes of violence by promoting inclusive democracy, good governance, state capacity, human rights, the rule of law, and the judicious use of shared natural resources.
