| Abstract: | The focus of this study was to examine the effectiveness of the SADC diplomatic conflict management response mechanism for enhancing human security with specific reference to Mozambique between the years 2013 to 2017. The topic of the study aligns the research towards different diplomatic activities and legal matters, it employs a descriptive, desktop qualitative case study approach in the collection, analysis and interpretation of data on the SADC diplomatic conflict management response mechanism for enhancing human security in Mozambique. The study further evaluated the efficacy of SADC’s Organ on Politics, Defence and Security (OPDS) as a conflict prevention, mediation and resolution mechanism in any conflict that may arise in the Southern African region. The findings of the study are that SADC conflict prevention, mediation and resolution efforts are ineffective due to; a decision-making structure which promotes political patronage and sovereign interest over evidence based conflict resolution; weak mandate of the Secretariat whose role is to coordinate and implement the decisions of Summit and Council as opposed to initiating programs and initiatives that are binding on Member States; weak funding to the SADC Secretariat as a whole and conflict prevention, mediation and resolution in particular and SADC’s poor coordination with the AU and UN on conflict management. The study recommends that SADC Secretariat be restructured and turned into a Commission whose initiatives and programs should be binding on Member States. This will remove political patronage and bias and usher in independence and objectivity in decision-making, including in conflict prevention, mediation and resolution. |
