South Africa and the United Nations: Strengthening opportunities for effective peacebuilding
Year: 2014
Type: article
Abstract: South Africa can strengthen its peacebuilding engagements with the United Nations in a number of ways, and has several opportunities to play a leading role in the structures of the UN peacebuilding architecture. Drawing on its own peaceful transition to democracy and its engagements on the African continent, the country has considerable experience in peacebuilding and can promote African views on peacebuilding at the UN, including in debates surrounding the 2015 review of the UN peacebuilding architecture. This paper draws on field research carried out by the Institute for Security Studies in May 2014. Originally published as ISS Paper 268 by the Institute for Security Studies (ISS), Pretoria, 2014.
