    Executive Board Second Regular Session Rome, 4–7 November 2013 POLICY ISSUES Agenda item 4 For approval WFP'S ROLE IN PEACEBUILDING IN TRANSITION SETTINGS EE Distribution: GENERAL WFP/EB.2/2013/4-A/Rev.1 25 October 2013 This document is printed in a limited number of copies. Executive Board documents are ORIGINAL: ENGLISH available on WFP’s Website (http://executiveboard.wfp.org). 2 WFP/EB.2/2013/4-A/Rev.1 NOTE TO THE EXECUTIVE BOARD This document is submitted to the Executive Board for approval. The Secretariat invites members of the Board who may have questions of a technical nature with regard to this document to contact the WFP staff focal points indicated below, preferably well in advance of the Board’s meeting. Director, OSZ*: Mr S. Samkange Email: [email protected] Chief, OSZPH**: Mr P. Howe Email: [email protected] Should you have any questions regarding availability of documentation for the Executive Board, please contact the Conference Servicing Unit (tel.: 066513-2645). * Policy, Programme, and Innovation Division ** Humanitarian Crises and Transitions Unit WFP/EB.2/2013/4-A/Rev.1 3 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Conflict is a leading cause of hunger. People in conflict-affected states are up to three times more likely to be undernourished than those living in countries at peace.1 To a lesser extent, hunger can contribute to violence by exacerbating tensions and grievances. WFP therefore has a strong interest and a potentially important role in supporting transitions towards peace. In recent years, the United Nations’ method for supporting countries emerging from conflict has shifted to a “whole-of-government” approach with a focus on national peacebuilding strategies and the New Deal for Engagement in Fragile States.

Peacekeeping Operations in Africa September 23, 2019 Many Members of Congress have demonstrated an interest in the mandates, effectiveness, and funding status of United Nations (U.N.) peacekeeping operations in Africa as an integral Luisa Blanchfield component of U.S. policy toward Africa and a key tool for fostering greater stability and security Specialist in International on the continent. As of September 2019, there are seven U.N. peacekeeping operations in Africa: Relations the U.N.

Security Council, plays a key role in establishing, renewing, and funding U.N. peacekeeping operations, including those in Africa. For 2019, the U.N. General Assembly assessed the U.S. share of U.N. peacekeeping operation budgets at 27.89%; since the mid-1990s Congress has capped the U.S. payment at 25% due to concerns that the current assessment is too high. During the Trump Administration, the United States generally has voted in the Security Council for the renewal and funding of existing U.N.

    Dag hammarskjold’s role in the development of peacekeeping Revista Publicando, 5 No 16. (1). 2018, 606-616. ISSN 1390-9304 Dag hammarskjold’s role in the development of peacekeeping 1 1 Vyacheslav A. Shagalov , Valeriy A. Letyaev , Yakov Ya. Grishin1, Marina M. Vladimirova1 1 Kazan Federal University, Institute of International Relations, History and Oriental Studies, [email protected] Abstract The issue under investigation is urgent as the modern world is experiencing widespread armed conflicts to settle which the United Nations is conducting peacekeeping operations, thus the study of the development of the concept of peacekeeping operations will now help find the most optimal form of such conduct. The purpose of the article is to study the process of the development of the concept of peacekeeping operations and the role of the Secretary-General of the United Nations Dag Hammarskjold in it. The article deals with the formation of the concept of peacekeeping operations, a major contribution to which was introduced by the second Secretary-General Dag Hammarskjold who held the post in 1953-1961. The authors examine the attempts carried out in the second half of the 1940s to create international military forces within the UN in order to respond to the threats to international peace and security. The cases of conflict resolution in the Middle East and in the Congo reveal the basic principles of Hammarskjold’s peacekeeping concept as well as his systemic approach to resolving local crises in the world. The materials of the article may be useful in discussing a possible reform of the concept of the UN peacekeeping operations.
