This report entitled “Uniting our Strengths for Peace – Politics, Partnership and People” was produced by the High-Level Panel on Peace Operations appointed by UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon to review the current state of UN peace operations. The Panel considered a broad range of issues facing peace operations, including the changing nature of conflict, evolving mandates, good offices and peacebuilding challenges, planning and partnerships. The report highlights four essential shifts that are needed for the UN to tackle new challenges, and formulates a number of key recommendations, including on conflict prevention, protection of civilians, use of force, women, peace and security, and integrating human rights.
