5. Переведите текст, обращая особое внимание на выде­ленные слова.

We must recognize that it is more cost-effective to anticipate and prevent international problems than to try to solve them once they occur. Often the UN comes under pressure to act only when the root causes of a crisis have had time to fester and wreak their havoc. It is often not until conflicts have escalated enough to dominate the evening news that countries are seriously ready to provide funds, people, peacekeepers and humanitarian assistance. We need to devote more time and resources to preventive action. We need multilateral efforts that can contain conflict, anticipate problems and alleviate humanitarian crises in time. If we don't, we may face outbreaks of hostility, and the disintegration of states, with the consequent migration of millions of people. The international bill for restoring peace and providing humanitarian aid will escalate as crises worsen
