From the Agenda for Peace to Our Common Agenda: the “Sustainability” of Peace: DOI: http://dx.doi.org.10.18847/1.16.3

Abstract

This article analyzes the scope of the United Nations political agendas in relation to international peace and security. The integral perception of the relations between “peace”, “security” and “development” justifies the new multidimensional, preventive and sustainable perspectives of all peace-building and peace consolidation activities, which continue to be the main purpose of this Organization. In Our Common Agenda (2021), the Secretary General contemplates concrete actions of a very diverse nature and diversity of subjects to eradicate the root causes that generate insecurity and that are an obstacle to the sustainable development to which the international community aspires in accordance with the 2030 Agenda. He is committed to greater investment in prevention and peacebuilding, with measures ranging from arms control to the financing of peacebuilding structures, including the eradication of violence, particularly against women, and the search for new partnership and cooperative models, but going beyond the agreements provided for in Chapter VIII of the UN Charter.
