The United Nations Security Council and the General Assembly adopted twin resolutions on the 2025 review of the UN peacebuilding architecture. The Security Council adopted Resolution 2805 unanimously yesterday. The General Assembly adopted an almost identical resolution without a vote.

 

 

The twin resolutions affirm that the 2025 review of the UN peacebuilding architecture is aimed at enhancing the implementation and impact of UN peacebuilding activities at the field level. Reaffirming that development, peace, security and human rights are interlinked and mutually reinforcing, they recognise that investing in conflict prevention is a highly cost-effective solution and results in saving lives, stabilising economies and reducing the need for costly military responses.

 

 

Both resolutions reaffirm that UN member states bear the primary responsibility for preventing conflict and building peace and for addressing the root causes of violence and conflict in their countries. This year’s review is the fourth since the creation of the UN peacebuilding architecture in 2005. The twin resolutions call for a further comprehensive review of UN peacebuilding in 2030.
