From Norm-Takers to Norm-Makers

African UN member states should act as unifiers and conveners rather than dividers. More coordination could help them overcome the structural challenges they face at the United Nations.

The Future of Peace Operations is African, and Demands Better Coordination

While the future of peace operations will be intrinsically linked to Africa’s future, this does not mean that the UN will lose its central role.
