Task Forces on Strengthening Multilateral Security Capacity
The IPI Task Forces on Strengthening Multilateral Security Capacity aim to develop action-oriented recommendations for redoubling and reorienting the capacity of the UN and its partners to respond to emerging, multifaceted, and global security challenges. Bringing together eminent experts and UN Member State representatives, the Task Forces focus on identifying policies and institutional renovations needed at the multilateral level and concrete strategies for their effective implementation.
The Task Forces addressed two thematic clusters of issues, each of which was broken down into smaller expert Roundtables, as follows:
| Task Force One Transnational Security Challenges |
Task Force Two Inter and Intra-state Armed Conflict |
|
|
To provide a larger geopolitical and economic context for the work of the subsequent Task Forces, IPI held an Opening Symposium on “Development, Resources, and Environment: Defining Challenges for the Security Agenda.” This high-level meeting explored the ways in which developmental and environmental threats shape security challenges and multilateral capacity to address them effectively.
