On June 23rd, the International Peace Institute (IPI), in partnership with the Permanent Missions of Bangladesh, Denmark, Indonesia, Ireland, Japan, the Netherlands, Pakistan, the UN Department of Peace Operations, Peace Direct, and the Cairo International Center for Conflict Resolution, Peacekeeping, and Peacebuilding, cohosted a public policy forum on “Strengthening the Peace Operations–Peacebuilding Nexus: From Policy to Practice,” during Peacebuilding Week 2026. 

In an era of increasingly complex and protracted conflicts, building and sustaining peace remains central to the work of the United Nations. UN peace operations play a critical role in creating space to advance national and local ownership over peacebuilding, while the Peacebuilding Commission (PBC) and the Peacebuilding Fund (PBF) provide valuable support within mission settings, including during transitions.  

Under increasing financial constraints, sustaining peace requires an integrated approach that connects protection, political engagement, prevention, and peacebuilding while working effectively with partners – at the local and global level. To that end, the 2025 Peacebuilding Architecture Review (PBAR) resolutions seek to strengthen the nexus between peace operations and peacebuilding, while the forthcoming secretary-general’s review on the future of all forms of peace operations intends to provide a strategic vision for aligning peace operations with today’s rapidly evolving global environment. Strengthening this nexus can maximize impact across the peace continuum – from conflict prevention and crisis response to post–conflict reconstruction and development. 

Against this backdrop, this panel discussion explored how the peace operations-peacebuilding nexus is operationalized in practice. Bringing together headquarters and field-level perspectives from policymakers and practitioners, the discussion examined: the contribution of peace operations to peacebuilding; missions’ support for community-centered approaches that support prevention and local-level conflict resolution led by Civil Affairs components; and how the PBF and PBC can be effectively leveraged in peace operation settings to support national and local peacebuilding priorities alongside missions. Overall, the discussion highlighted the importance of planning, coordination, and partnerships for peacebuilding in peace operation contexts.  

The civil affairs components of UN peace operations play an important role in advancing peacebuilding goals through community-centered approaches. Several speakers highlighted the value of the work undertaken by civil affairs teams, including facilitating local peace dialogues, community trust-building activities, and efforts to build local capacities to manage tensions and protect civilians. Many also mentioned the impact of contingency cuts implemented because of the UN’s ongoing liquidity crisis. For example, in South Sudan, approximatelu 40% of UNMISS civil affairs staff were cut, reducing the mission’s capacity. Some speakers underscored that these and other constraints are likely to limit early warning, conflict mitigation, and civilian protection capacities.  

Speakers also emphasized the importance of integrating longer-term peacebuilding perspectives in planning mission drawdowns and transitions. In this respect, speakers discussed how the UN peacebuilding architecture, including the PBC and the PBF, could be leveraged. One briefer argued that connecting political, security, and governance elements through the PBC can help strengthen the peacebuilding-peacekeeping nexus. Several speakers emphasized the need to strengthen the relationship between the Security Council and the PBC, as called for in the twin resolutions that emergee from the 2025 PBAR. The PBC’s advisory role to the Council can be particularly important in mandate renewal and in transitions and drawdowns, supporting host states in mobilizing support and financing to cover resource gaps that often emerge in transitions. In this regard, one speaker highlighted the role of the informal coordinator between the PBC and the Security Council, stressing that member states should help bridge the gap between the UN’s peace operations and the UN peacebuilding architecture.  

Central to the discussion was the practical contribution peace operations make to peacebuilding at the local level, and how that contribution can be maintained and strengthened during a period of financial pressure, transition, and reform. The discussion also examined how to leverage the momentum of the PBAR and the peace operations review to foster greater cohesion within the UN system and with partners, including during mission transitions and drawdowns, to maximize impact amid geopolitical turbulence, ongoing reforms, and increasingly violent contexts.

Commissioner warns to move away from ‘traditional’ mode

Le gouvernement allemand s'attelle à une réforme en profondeur de son système social. Une commission qui a planché sur une refonte en profondeur des retraites a présenté ses conclusions ce mardi 23 juin. La coalition au pouvoir compte mettre en œuvre l'ensemble des propositions.

The regular tempo of on-the-ground cooperation suggests that the Quad – despite its thin institutional structure – may in fact be insulated from higher level political volatility.

Tanulságok garmadája maradt ránk a június 22-i kormányalakítási kudarc után: egyre erőtlenebb államfő, erodált szocdem nimbusz, számbelileg karcsúbb, ám dacos liberális frakciók a parlamentben, Kelemen intelmei, meg a helyzetet maximálisan kihasználó szélsőjobb. És persze a szorgos szolgálatok, meg az elengedhetetlen tömbösödés – de most kicsit másként. Cseke Péter jött el a Tetőteraszra. Házigazda: Rostás-Péter István
