PhD Abstract: This article x-rayed the United Nations Security Council strategies in contemporary conflict management. It involvements in recent conflicts seems to have attracted complicated responses. The article drew from the Boutros Ghalli's celebrated report entitled 'An Agenda for Peace" in 1992. His strategies were based Preventive Diplomacy, Peacemaking, Peace-building, Peacekeeping, and Peace enforcement which till date define the framework and tools through which the Security Council manage international conflicts. Contemporary doctrine of Responsibility to Protect was also analysed. Specifically, the article examined the interest underpinning the application of these strategies in Libyan and Syrian conflicts. Given the outcome of the Security Council involvement in these conflicts, the article concludes that the Security Council interventions has-been counterproductive and has become an accelerator of conflicts in recent times. The Security Council must therefore take an impressionable responsibility and must be sincere while employing any strategy in independent states and must pursue the global interest of peace and less of selfish interest.
