SUMMARY REPORT
Challenges Forum Report Launch and High-Level Seminar 27 & 28 January 2015
THE DEMAND for UN peace operations is greater
than ever before. The security environments in
which they operate are becoming increasingly
more complex and challenging. The resources
and tools available are insufficient to meet the
needs.

there is a need to rethink and transform the
approaches to UN peace operations, not only
operationally and tactically, but also strategically
and doctrinally, in order to ensure best possible
effect on the ground.
