Report開催報告

Abstract:
Director Van der Vliet and Director-general Iwai will be discussing the future of international peace cooperation by drawing from their own extensive experience. How have peacekeeping missions evolved? What are the challenges of past and ongoing operations? And, more importantly, how can we learn from them? Using examples of recent operations, both speakers will shed their light on the question of how we can boost the effectiveness of international peace cooperation. How can we improve and reform the United Nations system and make multilateral cooperation in this field more sustainable?
