The Future of Peace Operations

On 29 April 2020 the Challenges Forum Partners the Norwegian Institute of International Affairs (NUPI) and the Institute for Peace and Security Studies (IPSS), Addis Ababa University, support by the Challenges Forum International Secretariat (CFIS), hosted a virtual discussion on how to sustain effective peace operations in a changing global order and what needs to be done in order to ensure this?

The session ended with each panelist making a prediction on peace operations in 10 years’ time with as key common thread that peacekeeping will remain one of the cornerstones of multilateral governance, but will need to adapt to the changing global order.

Cedric De Coning, EPON coordinator’s comments is available here, and the full webinar is available on the YouTube channel below.
