Conflict Prevention Act
Congress Proposes State Department Center to Forecast Conflicts and Support Peace Negotiations
Legislative Progress
House
Key Points
- Congress would create a new State Department Center to study rising conflicts overseas and help plan how the U.S. responds.
- The Center would use data and forecasting to spot possible violence hotspots abroad and flag risks to U.S. security and foreign policy.
- It would support peace talks by advising U.S. diplomats on negotiation, mediation, and how to track whether agreements are working.
- The Center could run “what-if” drills to stress-test foreign policy plans and help train diplomats in conflict prevention skills.
- It would be capped at 20 full-time State Department employees and could send teams temporarily to embassies in higher-risk regions.
