Abstract
This study is about the ending of conflicts. It examines the United Nations (UN) capacities in Conflict Transformation activities through the deployment of multifunctional peace operations. It is a study of how the UN seeks to transform violent conflicts into the state of being non-violent conflicts. Thus, a study that examines the process of creating a self-sustaining peace (positive peace), and not only examining how to reduce the risk of resumption of violent conflict (negative peace). Herein, the study favours the concept Conflict Transformation as an extension of the term Conflict Resolution.
