Peacebuilding Commission (PBC)

In the resolutions establishing the Peacebuilding Commission, resolution A/RES/60/180 and resolution S/RES/1645 (2005) of 20 December 2005, the United Nations General Assembly and the Security Council mandated it:

• to bring together all relevant actors to marshal resources and to advise on and propose integrated strategies for post-conflict peacebuilding and recovery;
• to focus attention on the reconstruction and institution-building efforts necessary for recovery from conflict and to support the development of integrated strategies in order to lay the foundation for sustainable development;
• to provide recommendations and information to improve the coordination of all relevant actors within and outside the United Nations, to develop best practices, to help to ensure predictable financing for early recovery activities and to extend the period of attention given by the international community to postconflict recovery.
