Alert 2011! Report on Conflicts, Human Rights and Peacebuilding The Alert 2011! report analyses conflicts and peacebuilding in six areas: armed conflicts, socio-political crises, peace processes, humanitarian crises, human rights and transitional justice, and the gender dimension in peace-building. Focusing on these areas, Alert 2011! attempts to offer an overview of the state of the world and reveal possible trends and dynamics related to these areas. The analysis is supplemented with a table of indicators that provides qualitative and quantitative information for each area of study. This allows the report to act as a vital preventive tool regarding general trends or situations in specific countries. The yearbook also identifies opportunities for peace. There are some scenarios with elements that lead us to believe that positive advances are possible in 2011 if the necessary political actions are taken and international support is given.
