Since the early 1990s, numerous conflicts have necessitated international interventions. Different actors of the international community were called to stabilize security in these post-conflict environments. When law and order was not immediately established, and when the security sector was not reconstructed as a first priority, the cost to the impacted population was great. Development has been slow, and the rise of organized crime rapid - with implications reaching far beyond those immediately concerned states. Policy makers and experts will discuss the issues at stake, the learning curve experienced through a decade of trial and error from West Africa, Bosnia and Herzegovina to Afghanistan.
