Prevent & Resolve conflict
It’s our goal to prevent and resolve conflict. We believe the international community can react more quickly and effectively to emerging conflicts and better support post-conflict peacekeeping and stabilising.
UK staff are working around the world to tackle the causes of conflict by promoting and developing human rights, democracy and good governance. Read more in the Prevent & Resolve conflict pages in Foreign & Commonwealth Office website.
UK in Afghanistan
The UK, alongside 40 other nations, is in Afghanistan at the invitation of the democratically elected Afghan Government to help rebuild and develop a country emerging from a quarter century of conflict.
