Artikel Discover the Security Council’s Informal Tool for Crisis Management As a member of the UN Security Council, Germany should convene Arria-formula meetings more frequently to address specific impending crises and conflicts. In doing so, it should also strengthen cooperation with countries from the Global South. This would grant additional expertise and flexibility to the Council and diversify the included voices and preferences. Melanie Coni-Zimmer, Anton Peez • 19 August 2019
Artikel „Nie wieder?“ Massenverbrechen effektiver verhindern Die Verhinderung von schwersten Menschenrechtsverletzungen gehört zur deutschen Staatsräson, so die Bundesregierung in den Leitlinien. Dann gilt es jetzt die Ärmel hochzukrempeln. Die Bundesregierung sollte die Prävention von Massenverbrechen als eine ressortübergreifende Aufgabe anerkennen, einen Bestandsbericht über deutsche Kapazitäten erstellen und in bessere Frühwarnmechanismen investieren.

Artikel Mission Impossible? Lessons from UN Peacekeeping in South Sudan The UN Mission in South Sudan faces daunting challenges, especially with regard to the protection of civilians. Despite its efforts, the mission cannot solve the conflict alone. Regional and international actors must step up and act more decisively. Germany can help by pushing for the immediate establishment of the planned hybrid court for atrocities. It can also encourage a frank debate about the limits of the protection of civilians and motivate other countries to increase humanitarian aid. Elisa D. Lux • 08 June 2017
