African Perspective on the Future of Peace Operations

This paper explores the evolving landscape of peace operations, focusing on the increasing significance of African Union-led Peace Support Operations in addressing Africa’s complex security challenges. 

With the adoption of UN Security Council Resolution 2719 (2023), progress has been made toward securing predictable financing for these missions, though significant implementation challenges remain. 

This paper aims at bringing African priorities and considerations to the fore in the ongoing discussion on the future of peace operations as well as the African Union efforts in this regard.
