Peace and Security

The Global Governance Institute and its partners of the Global Alliance for Peace Operations co-organize the High-Level “Peace Operations Review Week” from 5–7 November 2025 in New York. Building on the positive synergies created through interdisciplinary, global collaborations, such as the Challenges Forum, the Effectiveness of Peace Operations Network, the Global Alliance for Peace Operations and other partners, the Peace Operations Review Week brings together a wide range of expert communities working on issues related to peace operations and global crisis management. This critical mass of expertise aims to support and inform the Review on the Future of All Forms of Peace Operations – tasked in the 2024 Pact for the Future.

The Peace Operations Review Week will consist of a series of workshops (ranging from 1 to 3 hours, some public, some closed) on a host of issues related to peace operations, rounded off by a closing discussion with the Department of Peacebuilding and Political Affairs and the Department of Peace Operations.

GGI Co-organizes GAPO Event at German Permanent Representation to the United Nations

Hosted by the German Permanent Representation to the United Nations in New York, GGI will co-organize on 5th November 2025 a lunch-time round-table on “Strengthening and Preserving UN Peace Operations: Perspectives from the Global Alliance for Peace Operations”. This Global Alliance for Peace Operations event, in cooperation with the Center for Peace Operations (ZIF) and the missions of Germany, Indonesia and Sierra Leone will reflect on core issues and challenges related to the future of peace operations. It will offer insights from the Global Alliance’s work in the lead-up to the Peacekeeping Ministerial Meeting in Berlin in May 2025 and will reflect on how peace operations must and can adapt.

‍

Core Guiding questions to be addressed during the event include:

  • In light of recent contingency planning and cost reduction announcements: How do GAPO findings originally prepared for the Berlin Ministerial still apply in this current environment?
  • How can we continue to focus on required peacekeeping reforms? Which GAPO findings allow us to pursue cost-efficient and more effective missions?
  • Which partnerships should be pursued in times of peacekeeping retrenchment?
  • How can GAPO contribute to T/PCC and UNHQ peacekeeping preparedness for potential future missions or support structures?
  • Way ahead for GAPO’s work: How to accompany ongoing processes (Review of all forms of Peace Operations etc.)?
