Peacebuilding Commission Ambassadorial-level Meeting…

In 2005, in resolutions A/RES/60/180 and S/RES/1645 (2005) the General Assembly and Security Council established the Peacebuilding Commission (PBC), mandating it to provide political accompaniment and advocacy to conflict-affected countries, with their consent. In resolutions A/RES/70/262 and S/RES/2282(2016), the Commission was mandated to advise the General Assembly and the Security Council on peacebuilding and sustaining peace; to promote an integrated, strategic and coherent approach to peacebuilding; to act as a bridge among the principal organs and relevant United Nations entities by sharing advice on peacebuilding needs and priorities; and to convene all relevant actors within and outside the United Nations. In resolutions A/RES/75/201 and S/RES/2558 (2020), the Commission was called to continue strengthening its advisory, bridging, and convening roles in support of nationally-owned priorities and efforts in the countries and regions under its consideration.
