In this webinar at Royal Roads University Dr Alexander Gilder will discuss his new book on UN stabilization mandates and human security.

UN peace operations are increasingly asked to pursue stabilization mandates with lofty expectations of stabilizing conflict zones, achieving national reconciliation, and rebuilding state legitimacy.

This event will take place on Wednesday 3 November 2021 at 12 pm PDT (7 pm GMT). In this webinar, Dr Alexander Gilder will investigate the relationship between UN stabilization mandates and the concept of 'human security'.

The webinar will explore the emergence of stabilization and other trends in peacekeeping practice, look at case studies examining issues, such as human rights, empowerment, protection, and vulnerability and draw out several concerns that arise from stabilization mandates, including the militarisation of UN peace operations and the consequences under international humanitarian law, the risks of close cooperation with the host state and engagement in counter-terror activities, and the potential clash between peacebuilding activities and militarisation.

This webinar amplifies concepts shared in Alexander Gilder's new book, Stabilization and Human Security in UN Peace Operations (Routledge 2022) - available here.
