Supporting the UN’s Role for Peace Globally

QUNO New York seeks to strengthen member states’ understanding of and commitment to important concepts that build what has been called Positive Peace. Peace in this view requires the presence of social justice, equity, and systems that support sustainable peace and is distinguished from a Negative Peace which is the absence of direct violence or war.

In this area of work, we focus on three intersecting themes. These are also explored through the work we do to support the UN’s role for peace in country and regional contexts. Currently, QUNO focuses on three priority areas of thematic work: inclusion, transitional justice, and working for peace through a climate-sensitive lens.
