Department Researchers Present
Reports to the UN
Three Cases Studies and one general report are presented to the UN Mediation Support Unit of the UN Department of Political Affairs, Thursday 19, 2009. At a workshop in New York, entirely devoted to the Uppsala work, researchers Desirée Nilsson, Johan Brosché and Peter Wallensteen will present the work of the Uppsala team which also has involved Roland Kostic and Mikael Eriksson.
The team has analyzed three peace agreements, Liberia, Sudan and Bosnia-Herzegovina from three separate angles: public security, power-sharing and reconciliation. A set of lessons learned has been distilled for each of the three cases. Together with the outcomes of the Uppsala workshop held in September this has resulted in 18 additional general recommendations ('the Uppsala recommendations').
The purpose of this research is to draw conclusions of general value for the work of the Mediation Support Unit. This Unit is a new body in the UN created to further peacemaking efforts of the UN Secretariat in conflict situations around the world. The Uppsala work was commissioned on a grant given to the UN by the government of Canada.
The above mentioned reports can be downloaded here or purchased by the Department. The price is 50 SEK + distributional cost (without value added tax). For further info, contact: Ulla.öberg@pcr.uu.se
