» IISD, IUCN - World Conservation Union, IISD, 2005. Paper, copyright: IISD, IUCN – The World Conservation Union

If trade and aid policy is to support peace and security rather than increasing the likelihood and longevity of violent conflict, we believe policy-makers should focus their attention and efforts on six key objectives. The following six briefs (i) explain why each objective is critical to security between and within states; (ii) assess current initiatives that attempt to realize that objective; and (iii) make recommendations for future action.
