Abstract

International Security is of great significance to States at regional and global levels. As such the need to address challenges to international Security becomes paramount for States, non-State actors and several organizations at different levels. When challenge to security is evaluated, the major issue at stake is the consequences of conflict(s) to peace and security. Africa is a region that contributes to insecurities at different levels of organizational framework; this is due to the fact that African conflicts are quite ill in nature, and they undermine certain human right values that require peace and security to be maintained. This craves the need for both global and regional organizations to ensure the conflict decadence in the African region do not spill out of control to affect other areas of the international system. With the above in mind, this work seeks to evaluate how African conflicts resolution can be attained. And how African conflict resolution has being pursued by several organizations such as; the United Nations, the European Union, the African Union and African sub-regional organizations.
