The International
Crisis Group is committed to strengthening the capacity of the
international community to anticipate, understand and act to prevent and
contain conflict. ICG's approach is grounded in field research. Teams of
political analysts based on the ground in countries at risk of crisis,
gather information from a wide range of sources, assess local conditions
and produce regular analytical reports containing practical recommendations
targeted at key international decision-takers.

methods and its work to date, in the form of reports (as described above)
