Stabilization and Human Security in UN Peace Operations

UN peace operations are increasingly asked to pursue stabilization mandates with lofty expectations of stabilizing conflict zones, achieving national reconciliation, and rebuilding state legitimacy.

In this webinar, Dr. Kenneth Christie and Dr. Alexander Gilder discuss the emergence of stabilization and other trends in peacekeeping practice, look at case studies examining issues, such as human rights, empowerment, protection, and vulnerability and draw out several concerns that arise from stabilization mandates, including the militarization of UN peace operations and the consequences under international humanitarian law, the risks of close cooperation with the host state and engagement in counter-terror activities, and the potential clash between peacebuilding activities and militarization.

This webinar amplifies concepts shared in Alexander Gilder's new book, Stabilization and Human Security in UN Peace Operations - 1st Edition.
