Conflict Prevention, Post-Conflict Peacebuilding, Promotion of Durable Peace, Rule of Law and Governance.

Their special circumstances were not adequately addressed by the Millennium Development Goals, and they are furthest behind in achieving them—a major lesson learned for crafting the Sustainable Development Goals and the new Post-2015 Development Agenda.
