The transition to Phase Two of the Comprehensive Plan to End the Gaza Conflict, following the adoption of UN Security Council Resolution 2803 (2025), has brought renewed focus to the proposed International Stabilization Force (ISF). While the resolution authorizes the ISF as a central operational pillar of the next phase, significant uncertainty remains around its mandate, composition, sequencing, and relationship to emerging Palestinian governance arrangements. 

This issue brief examines the conditions under which the ISF could contribute to stabilization rather than exacerbate political and security risks. Drawing on IPI-led consultations and off-the-record discussions with regional actors, UN officials, member states, and Israeli and Palestinian experts, the brief unpacks key challenges related to anchoring stabilization in a credible political horizon, clarifying the division of labor among international and local actors, and sequencing deployment alongside Israeli withdrawal, Palestinian policing, and reconstruction. 

The brief surfaces critical questions for policymakers on mandate design, coordination, risk management, and legitimacy. It underscores that the ISF’s effectiveness will depend on its integration into a broader political framework, meaningful Palestinian participation, and clear benchmarks linking stabilization to a durable political process.

IPI, the Stimson Center, and Security Council Report (SCR), in partnership with the Permanent Missions of Germany and Switzerland to the UN, hosted a closed-door workshop on “MINUSMA’s Mandate Evolution and Lessons Learned” on June 13th. The workshop addressed key lessons from the United Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in Mali (MINUSMA) which withdrew from Mali in December 2023.

The workshop, convened under the Chatham House rule of non-attribution, brought together representatives from the UN Secretariat and member states and external experts to take stock of the 10 years of MINUSMA’s mandate and operations. It will reflect on the inflection points, drawdowns, and lessons learned to contribute to broader discussions on the future of peacekeeping. The first session focused on a historical overview of the mission and how it evolved with Mali’s changing political and security landscape. The second session focused on lessons learned and how they can be applied to future missions.

This event is part of a series of workshops aiming to support the sustained engagement of UN member states in discussions on how to make UN peace operations’ mandates more realistic, effective, and achievable.

This discussion will draw on several recent publications and projects, including the International Review of the Red Cross’s double edition on “Counterterrorism, Sanctions and War,” the United Nations University’s project on “UN Sanctions and Humanitarian Action,” and the International Peace Institute’s policy paper on “Carving Out Space for Humanitarian Action in the UN Security Council’s Counterterrorism Resolutions and Related Sanctions.” All of these have called for confronting the continued challenges posed by Security Council sanctions to humanitarian organizations and offered solutions to address them.

This virtual discussion will provide the opportunity to reflect on the ways the Security Council has approached humanitarian action within both the ISIL/al-Qaida sanctions regime and conflict-related sanctions regimes.

In 2021, violence against women (VAW) remains a major global issue. During the COVID-19 pandemic, restrictions on movement prevented many women from escaping the perpetrators of VAW, who are often their partners. In addition, there have been ongoing cases of VAW perpetrated by the very people entrusted with women’s protection, including police officers sexually assaulting and killing young women in the UK and peacekeepers in conflict areas abusing their position of trust as protectors of host communities and representatives of the UN.

This event presents an opportunity to broaden the way VAW is typically viewed by focusing inward on the social, domestic, and institutional levels. In addition to discussing patterns related to VAW, panelists will highlight ways in which civil society has addressed these patterns and how the international community can support civil society efforts as well as promote reform from within its own institutions. Panelists will also provide insight on the role of multilateral institutions in creating agendas and partnerships to prevent VAW at all levels.

Speakers:
Susana Malcorra, former Minister of Foreign Affairs & Worship (2015–2017), Argentina; former Under-Secretary-General, UN Department of Field Support; member and co-founder, GWL Voices
Åsa Regnér, Deputy Executive Director for Policy, Programme, Civil Society and Intergovernmental Support, UN Women
