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)

UN University Centre for Policy Research@UNUCPR

How could the 2025 Peacebuilding Architecture Review lead to more coherent, stronger responses for #UNpeacebuilding? Looking to the Peacebuilding Commission's relationship with the General Assembly is one place to start. Erica Gaston explains why: unu.edu/cpr/blog-post/…
