Some highlights from @ChallengesForum @nupinytt @IPSS_Addis webinar on the #GlobalOrder & future of #PeaceOps

2) @CedricdeConing highlights that the further @UNpeacekeeping operations move away from the principles #consent #impartiality and minimum use of force to stabilization, the less effective and successful. @MatejaPeter

3) 63% of webinar participants agreed that #A4P can lead to greater consensus among Member States on @UNPeacekeeping #PeaceOps

4) @Jguehenno sees fragmented #PeaceOps landscape in future: 1) more pronounced competition among regional powers, leading to less resources for #PeaceOps; 2) erosion of trust requiring balanced 3rd party engagement; 3) ensure that multiplicity of actors are not at cross-purposes

5) 69% of participants think that #COVID19 can positively impact multilateralism in the long run

6) Could COVID19 be litmus test for a more cooperative multilateral environment? @stimson Tori Holt suggests climate issues may be unifying factor for #UNSC, at least in redesigning #peaceops to reduce their environmental footprint #greeningtheblue

7)@MichelleNdiaye1 COVID19 short-term impact: Financial strains on PKOs; Worsened security situation; Limited access to IDPs & refugees in conflict areas. Long-term: important to invest in health systems & have holistic approach to #PeaceOps & to revise stabilization doctrine

8) UN's Haeri highglights importance of #PeaceOps & #UNCT strengthening engagement w/ local women's networks on how to reconstitute societies' protective structures & discussing with host governments to ⬆️ women's participation in political processes as recovery happens. #WPS

9)Lots of great audience Qs: 1)COVID19 ⬆️inequalities in many countries--how does that change local population reception of #PeaceOps? 2)Given #UN sustaining peace agenda, which presents a normative picture, will lighter footprint in #PeaceOps mean > potential to achieve ➕peace?
