GI-TOC has joined the Global Alliance for Peace Operations – a collective endeavour of more than 50 leading think tanks, research institutes and civil society organizations working on UN and regional approaches to peace operations.

This issue paper is a contribution to the Alliance’s collective input for the UN Peacekeeping Ministerial, which includes collaborative policy papers and short issue papers offering concrete policy recommendations on how to strengthen UN peace operations.

GI-TOC is participating at the ministerial hosting a side-event on Transnational Organized Crime and Peace Operations with the UN Association of Germany, and will take part in the Alliance’s April online workshop and May 12 symposium ahead of the ministerial.
