Securing a Better Future for Communities in Fragile and Conflict-Affected States Priorities for the UN General Assembly and Summit of the Future
This year’s United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) is centered on enhancing global systems for current and future generations through the Summit of the Future. As cycles of violence and suffering become protracted without international mediation, the multilateral systems built in the aftermath of World War II are struggling to ensure a hopeful future for millions of people trapped in conflict and crisis. In fact, many multilateral institutions supporting financing, development and diplomacy can make it harder, not easier, for crisis-affected communities to resolve conflict, meet basic needs and secure pathways to resilience and prosperity.
