conflits en amont

français vers anglais Droit / Brevets Droit (général)
Le législateur démine parfois certains conflits en amont, mais, à l’évidence, c’est au juge qu’il revient très souvent de se prononcer quand le droit à l’égalité s’oppose à un autre droit fondamental.

Does anybody know what is meant by "en amont" here please?

Does it mean " before the conflict escalates"?

Many thanks

I think "en amont" applies to "démine" -- the idea is that Parliament has passed legislation that settles some potential disputes before they can come to court.

I don't think one would use the term "upstream", which perhaps required "(as it were)" after it to make that clear.
