Managing Security Challenges in Post-Conflict Peacebuilding
Sheila Coutts with additional material by Kelvin Ong
June 2001
The Second Working Group on 'Managing Security Challenges in Post-Conflict Peacebuilding', part of the International Peace Academy's multi-year research project UN, NATO and Regional Actors in the 21st Century: Partners in Peace?, met in Ottawa on 21-23 June 2001. The meeting, generously hosted by the Canadian Government and held against the unfolding backdrop of the growing involvement in Macedonia of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and the European Union (EU), included 41 participants from a number of international organizations as well as government officials and academics. The group examined how the international community could best fill the post-conflict security gap while at the same time creating a stable security environment to serve as the foundation for a society with functioning security institutions and a self-sustaining respect for human rights.
