The post Ten-Year Review of the High-Level Independent Panel on Peace Operations Report appeared first on International Peace Institute.

Ten years after the High-Level Independent Panel on Peace Operations (HIPPO) released its landmark report “Uniting Our Strengths for Peace,” UN peace operations face new challenges that test the UN’s capacity to adapt to an evolving global landscape. As the UN examines the future of peace operations, it is timely to review the recommendations of the HIPPO report, many of which remain pertinent to today’s policy discussions.

This report reassesses the findings of the HIPPO report in light of today’s peace operations contexts, analyzes where there has and has not been progress, and considers how the HIPPO report can be useful to current discussions. Overall, today’s peace operations operate in a more challenging environment than in 2015, facing a more divided Security Council, severe financial constraints, and questions about the UN’s legitimacy. Nonetheless, the report concludes that many of HIPPO’s core insights remain relevant, and the findings and recommendations of the HIPPO report can help inform current policy discussions on the future of peace operations:

• UN80 Initiative: The secretary-general should articulate a clear vision guided by the New Agenda for Peace and Pact for the Future, ensuring cuts do not compromise the UN’s readiness to deploy peace operations or institutional memory.
• Review on the Future of Peace Operations: The Secretariat should use this review to identify what forms of peace operations the UN is best positioned to support and the capacities needed to backstop these efforts effectively.
• Modular Approaches: The Secretariat should develop frameworks for implementing modular mission designs while ensuring critical areas of work like the protection of civilians, gender, and human rights remain prioritized in streamlined mandates.
• Peacebuilding and Prevention: All member states should develop national prevention strategies as called for in the Pact for the Future, and the UN should consider pooling early-warning resources with regional organizations.
• Political Primacy: The secretary-general should clarify what the primacy of politics means in contexts without viable peace processes, encompassing politics beyond the signing of a formal agreement at the national level.
• Advancing Partnerships: The UN should embrace more ambitious partnerships that leverage its normative independence while drawing on regional organizations’ proximity to crises, focusing on prevention and mediation alongside peace enforcement.

The publication “The rise of radical right and Eurosceptic political forces and the impact on the EU’s enlargement policy” is a result of the initiative think nea – New Narratives of EU Integration, funded by the Open Society Foundations – Western Balkans.

This policy brief which was prepared in collaboration with the Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung Dialogue Southeast Europe presents the core findings and strategic recommendations of the full report. It is intended to provide the audience with a concise, accessible overview of the key insights and proposed actions.

With war raging on the European Union’s eastern border and the bloc seeking to redefine its geopolitical identity, another political transformation is unfolding within: the growing influence of radical right and Eurosceptic parties. Once largely marginalised actors, these forces are now increasingly reshaping Europe’s political priorities from within national parliaments and Brussels. This report takes stock of the growing influence of radical right and Eurosceptic political forces within the EU and examines the implications for EU enlargement policy.

In additional to the brief, a factsheet of the report was prepared in order to provide a condensed outline on how the growing influence of radical right and Eurosceptic parties is reshaping EU politics and what this means for the future of EU enlargement.

Face aux évolutions économiques, technologiques et démographiques, les entreprises doivent repenser leur organisation du travail. Le Club Futur du travail, porté par l’Institut Choiseul et LinkedIn, a réuni dirigeants et experts autour de quatre leviers stratégiques : freelancing, lien intergénérationnel, IA & soft skills, et leadership transformationnel.

ESPACE

· L’essor du freelancing, réponse agile à des besoins en compétences spécifiques

En forte croissance, le recours aux freelances s’impose comme une solution flexible pour répondre à des besoins ciblés, renforcer l’expertise et accompagner l’innovation. Il redéfinit les liens entre entreprises et talents.

· Le lien intergénérationnel, levier stratégique encore sous-exploité

Alors que quatre générations cohabitent en entreprise, la transmission, la coopération et la complémentarité deviennent des enjeux RH majeurs. Valoriser le lien intergénérationnel, c’est transformer une contrainte en levier d’intelligence collective.

· L’impact de l’intelligence artificielle sur la gestion des compétences et la montée en puissance des soft skills

L’intelligence artificielle accélère les mutations des métiers. Si les compétences techniques évoluent, les soft skills (empathie, esprit critique, adaptabilité) deviennent centrales. Une approche plus humaine du pilotage des talents émerge.

· Le rôle du leadership transformationnel, pour accompagner le changement de manière humaine et efficace

Face aux incertitudes, les organisations ont besoin de leaders inspirants, capables de donner du sens, d’embarquer les équipes et de piloter la transformation avec bienveillance. Un nouveau rapport au pouvoir et à la responsabilité s’installe.
