This article asks how the action plan "Civilian Crisis Prevention, Conflict Resolution & Post-Conflict Peace-Building" fits into the spectrum of conflict prevention under public international law & evaluates whether the law's potential is actively made use of. The author regrets that the plan does not call for a strengthening of the prohibition of the use of force. The contribution of public international law to conflict prevention is weakened by the plan's focus on judicial forms of dispute settlement & neglect of alternative means. The plan's strength lies in the field of arms control & disarmament as well as areas such as human rights law & the protection of the global environment. Here, it makes use of the law's potential to stabilize legitimate expectations concerning the use of common goods. In general, the plan is considered to be ambitious but to make too little use of public international law options. Adapted from the source document.
