United Nations Peacekeeping Operations

The upcoming review of the UN’s peacekeeping operations by the High-Level Panel on Peacekeeping
Operations and Sweden’s engagement in the UN peacekeeping operation in Mali, Minusma, make military
operations and peacekeeping increasingly prominent topics. The anthology Att säkra freden (Securing Peace)
presents a variety of influential voices within the debate on future challenges and prospects for Sweden in
international peacekeeping operations. Our keynote speaker is Mr. Ian Martin from the recently established
UN Independent High-Level Panel on Peacekeeping Operations. Mr. Martin has previously served as the UN
Special Representative to the Secretary-General and Head of the UN Support Mission in Libya.
