<p>UK diplomacy plays a leading role in addressing a number of conflict situations
around the world. For example, we have for several years led the international response
to the situation in Somalia; we have played an active role in the Troika (together
with the United States and Norway) to address the conflict in South Sudan; we have
given important support to the Cyprus negotiations as one of the Guarantor Powers;
and we recently co-hosted a high level event in New York focusing on ending the Rohingya
crisis in Burma.</p><p>As a permanent member of the UN Security Council (UNSC), the
UK often leads discussions on a range of conflict and post-conflict situations, including
the UN strategy to combat the Lord's Resistance Army in Central Africa; implementation
of the peace process in Colombia; resolving post-1991 legacy issues relating to Iraq;
as well as the situations in Libya, Sudan and Yemen. In addition the UK plays a leading
role in the UNSC on Peacekeeping (particularly reform issues), the Protection of Civilians
in Armed Conflict, and Women Peace and Security, in particular on women's participation
and protection in peace processes. The UK's own domestic experience of conflict resolution
and mediation enables it to provide valuable support and insights in the furtherance
of inclusive peace processes around the world.</p>
