Peace operations and conflict management

Peace operations and conflict management have been core elements of SIPRI’s work since the end of the cold war. Currently, SIPRI's work within the Peace Operations and Conflict Management Programme consists of six main pillars: (a) peace operations data and trends; (b) the future of peace operations, including the New Geopolitics of Conflict Management Initiative; (c) gender and peace operations and conflict management; (d) police and security sector reform in peace operations; (e) civilian aspects in peace operations; and (f) human rights and peace operations. In addition, based on its many years of experience, SIPRI has taken on many evaluation and 'lessons learned' studies regarding topical peace operations issues.
