Peace and Security

Projection of Sustainable Development Goal 16 at UN in New York

MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 2015

Prior to the UN General Assembly's Thematic Debate on "Ensuring Peaceful and Stable Societies" on 24-25 April, 2014, the GA solicited input from stakeholders on how peace, security and conflict prevention should be addressed in the post-2015 development agenda. 

We submitted our statement, which called for concrete Goals, Targets and Indicators in the new agenda. We believe peace, security and freedom from violence should be incorporated into the post-2015 agenda in two ways: 

New York, NY -- Global Action to Prevent War and Armed Conflict, the World Federation of UN Associations (WFUNA), Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung, and Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom (WILPF) will hold a Reflection and Strategy Meeting, following the Thematic Debate of the President of the General Assembly “Ensuring Stable and Peaceful Societies,” which will take place at UN Headquarters on April 24 and 25, 2014.
