In February 2025, Interpeace participated in the Policy Meeting on European Civil Society Organisations\u2019 input to the UN Peacebuilding Architecture Review 2025, organised by the European Peacebuilding Liasion Office (EPLO), in cooperation with the European External Action Service (EEAS), the Delegation of the European Union to the United Nations (UN) and the European Commission\u2019s Service for Foreign Policy Instruments. The exchange gathered 35 civil society representatives from European conflict prevention, mediation and peacebuilding organisations to discuss the ongoing review of the United Nations Peacebuilding Architecture. The discussions gathered insights on how the UN 2025 PBAR can be strengthened and the potential role of both the EU and its Member States in this process. Participants also discussed three key challenges for the PBA: supporting and leveraging national prevention strategies, enhancing coherence for peacebuilding and sustaining peace across the entire UN system, and addressing horizontal priorities.<\/p>\n
The importance of civil society in peacebuilding was a central point in the discussion. Participants underlined the need to increase civil society participation in the Peacebuilding Commission (PBC) and ensure direct access to the Peacebuilding Fund (PBF). Concerns were raised about the shrinking civic space and the need for the EU and UN to take action to protect and strengthen civil society\u2019s role in peace and security discussions.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
