Wer kann heute noch für Frieden sorgen? Wege aus der Krise der internationalen Friedenssicherung

In the organizer's words:

The number of wars and armed conflicts is at a record high in 2025. The United Nations - founded 80 years ago with the mission of securing peace in the world - is therefore more challenged than ever. However, the world organization, its sub-organizations and its peace missions are less and less able to fulfil their mission.

Following the withdrawal of the USA under Trump, it lacks the financial resources and there is a lack of political support from the member states for the UN as a strong peacekeeping actor, mediator in international conflicts and impartial advocate for international law.

How is this crisis in international peacekeeping having a concrete impact on the ground and how can peace be shaped today?

We will be discussing this on the occasion of the International Day of Peace with

Natalia Jagolski, Youth Delegate of the German United Nations Association to the Peacekeeping Summit 2025

Prof. Dr. Ulrich Schlie, Director of the Center for Advanced Security, Strategic and Integration Studies (CASSIS) Bonn

Dr. Antonia Witt, Head of the African Intervention Politics Research Group at the Peace Research Institute Frankfurt (PRIF)

Moderation: Christoph Bongard, Pro Peace / Platform for Civil Conflict Transformation
