One day after the #UNSC passed a resolution on #COVID19, @GermanyUN is convening a #SecurityCouncil meeting on " #pandemics and #security". The Concept note ( https://www.undocs.org/en/S/2020/571 ) asks some pretty smart questions. Do we have the answers? [1/6]

@CrisisGroup has been doing a lot of work on #COVID19 and #conflict since March. We can't answer all @GermanyUN's questions, but our reports may help. [2/6] https://www.crisisgroup.org/pandemics_public_health_deadly_conflict
Our first full briefing on #COVID19 and #conflict addresses @GermanyUN's first question: What "triggers" can turn #health crises into #security crises? [3/6] https://www.crisisgroup.org/global/sb4-covid-19-and-conflict-seven-trends-watch
Here are some of our thoughts on potential #COVID-related triggers for #conflict which the #UNSC may have to deal with (but may also drive geopolitical tensions that limit UNSC action). [4/6]

To take just one example of @CrisisGroup's pieces on the intersection #COVID19 and #conflict in a country on the #UNSC agenda, this @and_huh_what piece on #Afghanistan illustrates the links between disease and instability really well [5/6]. https://www.crisisgroup.org/asia/south-asia/afghanistan/covid-19-afghanistan-compounding-crises
One big focus for the #UNSC will be how @UNPeacekeeping responds to #COVID19. @CrisisGroup hasn't looked into this in depth yet (but watch out for more in the fall) but for now, this @diisdk piece I did with @louise_riis offers a quick stock-take.
