Summary
The Secretary-General stresses that comprehensive approaches are required for effective prevention of conflicts. Taking the Secretary-General's suggestions into consideration, and in preparation for the Summit of the Future and the upcoming 2025 Peacebuilding Architecture Review, it is time for Member States to further discuss how the Security Council can implement comprehensive approaches by utilizing the UN toolbox and other non-UN tools.

Empowering all people, including women and those in most vulnerable situations, is crucial. Moreover, building reliable institutions which can fulfill basic human needs, ensure sustainable development, and develop mutual trust between the governing and the governed is also essential.
To bolster such national efforts and to better pursue the purposes of the UN Charter, the UN Security Council should continue to focus on comprehensive approaches with a longerterm vision. UN peace operations should be rightly placed at the earliest stage possible in "integrated planning and coordination on transitions with the Resident Coordinators, United Nations Country Team, other United Nations agencies, funds and programmes, the host State and other national stakeholders including civil society". This will create synergies and maximize impact in building resilient societies as well as securing sustainable peace and development beyond conflict.
