Some really excellent and provocative ideas from @ericagaston as we move towards a big review of the UN's peacebuilding architecture.
As we gear up for the 2025 PBAR, some thoughts on the Peacebuilding Commission's "advisory role" and how to get the most out of it (hint: not by focusing on the Security Council)

Astonishing news from Syria. Lots of open questions, including whether the UN can open a viable set of talks now.

@UNReliefChief @UN_Valovaya @UNGeneva @UNOCHA @rajasingham_UN @Lisa_Doughten @AnjaNitzscheB I remember @UNReliefChief from your time as UK ambassador to Lebanon and think you’re a brilliant public speaker. Was gutted to be outside the Palais for this briefing but hopefully you come back soon and keep energizing this ecosystem.

Over and over, I have noticed that smaller E10 members have a big impact in the #SecurityCouncil (see eg Ireland last year). @swiss_un is no exception: congrats on an important presidency.
FINAL gavel bang under #Switzerland’s October Security Council Presidency! Despite the difficult geopolitical situation, the #UNSC found its voice during this busy month. 🇨🇭notably put emphasis on: ➡️Prevention ➡️Innovation ➡️Transparency (1/3)

After the Malian government kicked France and the UN peace operation out of Mali, many of us felt at a loss for what to do next. Here's an excellent idea (coincidentally from one of my former students @ColumbiaSIPA):
