Peace and Security

The work of FES New York on peace and security is rooted in the original mission of the United Nations - to save succeeding generations from the scourge of war. To date, large-scale military conflicts have resurfaced, and powerful states, including some permanent members of the UN Security Council, increasingly defy the principles of the UN Charter. In response, FES New York engages with UN Member States and other stakeholders to uphold a rules-based international order to promote the peaceful resolution of conflict, territorial integrity, and state sovereignty. At the same time, we purse a broader, more inclusive understanding of peace and security - one that centers on human security and prioritizes the needs, rights, and dignity of individuals as the ultimate beneficiaries of peace.
