Abstract
This presentation will compare and contrast the role of the international community and regional efforts in these long running African crises. It will focus on the UN lead role in the DRC and the SADC lead role in Zimbabwe, bearing in mind the UN Charter’s provision for both international and regional engagement and action. What has worked and what are the lessons for international policy makers and lawyers?
