Seminar: Multidimensional and Integrated Peace Operations

The fourth in the series of seminars, was held in New York, 24-25 May.

The seminar/roundtable consisted of two days of lively discussion, which ranged from an in-depth exploration the conceptual, operational and not least organizational barriers and enablers to integration to a broad exchange on UN’s capacity or the lack thereof to have the desired impact on the causes of war and peace.

In 2006, the Norwegian Government initiated the Project on Multidimensional and Integrated Peace Operations to help further institute and support an integrated approach to the implementation of Security Council mandates. This effort builds in part on the UN Integrated Missions study that was commissioned by the UN Executive Committee on Humanitarian Affairs (ECHA) in 2004. This project includes a series of seminars organized in different locations around the world, designed to consult with, take stock of the progress made so far and gather the experiences of the multitude of stakeholders involved in implementing the integrated mission concept.
