==Abstract==
The island of Cyprus is a case in point, where, while the historical roots of the conflict are complicated, the result is quite simple; Cyprus has been partitioned into segregated Greek and Turkish communities, separated by a buffer zone that is patrolled by the United Nations Force in Cyprus (UNFICYP). While the United Nations force has greatly minimised the incidents of intercommunal violence, the continuing division of the island has consistently obstructed, except for a short period of time, physical contact between the two communities, and by extension any consistent and lasting peace-building and confidence building measures between the two communities.
