Presented by QUNO New York Director Andrew Tomlinson at the EU-ISS seminar entitled “Peacebuilding and the Security-Development Nexus,” with a particular focus on the United Nations Peacebuilding Architecture including the Peacebuilding Commission (PBC).
A draft of this paper, "Towards Defining the Comparative Advantage of the PBC," was presented by QUNO New York Director Andrew Tomlinson at a roundtable discussion at the International Peace Institute entitled “Reviewing the PBC: Perspectives from Civil Society."
This paper aims to demonstrate that peacebuilding initiatives can be led by local rather than international players and that this approach can work successfully on a large scale. The paper summarises four peacebuilding initiatives, all more or less locally led, which have operated on a large scale, and which have had real impact in ending violent conflict. It sets out steps that could be taken to move from current practice, in which local capacity for peacebuilding is viewed as marginal, to one where it is regarded as a central element of any strategy for managing conflict.
