[08.02.12] UN in peacebuilding, peace operations and humanitarian relief
In conjunction with the MFA's current work on a White Paper on UN policy, the NUPI Centre for Global Governance hosts a seminar:
The role of the UN in peace building, peace operations, development and humanitarian relief.
A central theme that will run throughout the discussion will be the relationship between UN as operational actor and UN as arena for norm-development. Ole Jacob Sending will lead off with an introduction on that theme, followed by specific interventions (see below) on peaceoperations, peacebuilding, development and humanitarian relief.

Key questions:
- What are likely future challenges and trends in peaceoperations, peacebuilding, development, humanitarian relief?
- What are the key strengths and weaknesses of the UN system – do UN actors have the tools necessary?
- What types of approaches (policies, strategies, practices) appear most effective – do these exist within UN organizations today? Can they be developed within the parameters of the UN?
