Watch List 2018 - Third Update | 25 October 2018

Watch List Updates complement International Crisis Group’s annual Watch List, most recently published in January 2018. These early-warning publications identify major conflict situations in which prompt action, driven or supported by the European Union and its member states, would generate stronger prospects for peace. The Watch List Updates include situations identified in the annual Watch List and/or a new focus of concern.

This update includes entries on:

1. Libya’s Economic Reforms Fall Short

2. Investing Diplomatically in Idlib

3. Helping Civilians in Ukraine’s Eastern Donbas Region

4. Colombia’s Uneasy Peace and Troubled Borders

5. Averting Violence around Nigeria’s 2019 Elections
