Richard has spent the past few weeks canvassing colleagues at the UN about what they expect from the new US administration. He lays out a few ideas, and more uncertainties, in this new article for @justsecurity.org

While there is a lot of talk about a "crisis of peacekeeping" @fortid1.bsky.social and I argue @crisisgroup.org that the debate about the future of UN peace ops is starting to get a little more positive and constructive. www.crisisgroup.org/global/fresh...

With blue-helmet deployments shrinking, and facing political and financial headwinds, it may seem that the heyday of multilateral peacekeeping is over. But at UN headquarters in New York, the discussions about the subject are not quite so fatalistic.

A reason not to give up on UN missions is the difficulty of sustaining credible alternatives. But says @fortid1.bsky.social @richardgowan1.bsky.social UN members should bear in mind that Trump's White Hse is almost certain to ask hard questions about their value. www.crisisgroup.org/global/fresh...

In our latest for @crisisgroup.org, @richardgowan1.bsky.social and I take stock of recent peacekeeping debates at the UN. We argue that the time is ripe for fresh thinking about the future of UN missions. www.crisisgroup.org/global/fresh...

The biggest change is, of course, the fact that China—the 2nd largest assessed contributor—is now responsible for over 20% under both scales. The fact that the two largest contributors do not pay assessments on time is one of the main factors driving the ongoing liquidity crisis at the UN. [2/3]

Big vote in UNSC tomorrow to determine the fate of @ATMIS_Somalia / #AUSSOM Rapid reaction: 2719 closer to reality but not a done deal. Next decision point in May ‘25 with different US leadership at the table. Good to see African/Euro synergies. AU, UN ops still in limbo.

Le tournant souverainiste au Mali : ajuster la trajectoire | Crisis Group
Depuis 2021, les autorités maliennes ont fait du souverainisme le moteur d’une politique de rupture dans les domaines sécuritaire, diplomatique et économique. Elles peinent cependant à répondre aux attentes des populations, faute de ressources et de solutions durables aux problèmes sécuritaires. Le régime devrait explorer la voie d’un souverainisme plus équilibré.

Israel and Lebanon (meaning Hezbollah) agreed to a ceasefire a week ago. How is it faring? UNIFIL reports already 100 Israeli violations. Yet by and large the ceasefire seems to be holding. What can we expect? My @crisisgroup.org colleagues offer their views. www.crisisgroup.org/middle-east-...

One underrated aspect of this question is that Somali officials will spend the next two years in the Security Council working alongside U.S. counterparts on a daily basis. This won't be determinative, but it's fair to assume that these two govs will interact a lot more than in years past.

The notion that the Israeli government—having sabotaged a hostage-ceasefire deal—considers the release of the remaining hostages an urgent issue strikes me as the more remarkable element of this exchange.

Small but underreported UN update: The joint UN/AU report on details for a post-ATMIS operation in Somalia will only reach the UNSC on 30 Nov (two weeks late). With the deadline to authorize a new mission set for end of the year, diplomats now face an even tighter timeline.
