It traces the evolution of the @UNPeacekeeping Ministerial process and discusses issues raised during the Preparatory Conferences, including through the outstanding white papers @AlisonGiffen @RichardGowan1 @aboutellis Jake Sherman and I prepared for these conferences

[Alison Giffen @AlisonGiffen]

Thank you @RepSaraJacobs and colleagues for introducing this important bill in support of @UNPeacekeeping. It’s long overdue. We must meet our US commitments. #peacekeepingprotects

[CIVIC @CivCenter]

CIVIC welcomes new bill by @RepSaraJacobs @RepKarenBass @JoaquinCastrotx & @RepCicilline. It will ensure the US is doing its part to support @UNPeacekeeping. #PeacekeepingProtects civilians & does what individual governments are unable to do on their own. https://t.co/ZoF6nMpKGg

The US lethal strikes program is a cornerstone of a war-based approach that has devastated Black, Brown, and Muslim communities around the world.

Today, @CivCenter joins 110+ organizations to urge @POTUS to end lethal strikes outside recognized war zones. https://t.co/xNQ5DDt24Z

The story of Marla Ruzicka, CIVIC’s founder, continues to inspire us all. @NPR’s @Roughly podcast just released one of two episodes highlighting Marla’s vision to see a world in which no civilian is harmed in conflict.

The Arctic ground temperature was 118° F last weekend. Air temps in the Arctic were over 100° for the first time in recorded history last year, and today it's 116° in Portland and 105° in Seattle.

The #ClimateCrisis is unfolding before our eyes. We need more than half measures.

The @ProtectionPod's premiere episode will air 29 June 2021! Make sure to tune in to episode 1 as we learn what war is like for those living through it. It's time to put civilians at the center of the discussion. #IHL #CIVCAS #notatarget

[Alison Giffen @AlisonGiffen]

Money matters when it comes to @UNPeacekeeping. Read my colleague’s @seharju’s analysis on this year’s budget negotiations. #peacekeepingprotects and that’s worth funding.

[CIVIC @CivCenter]

The @UNPeacekeeping budgeting process is hardwired to cut important resources. Member States should resist recommendations by the #ACABQ to cut, match mission mandates w/ resources &, send a strong message on the protection of civilians. https://t.co/3Yc2XUcYW8

🇮🇩 Ambassador Mohammad Kurniadi Koba @indonesiaunny: A responsible @UNPeacekeeping drawdown must be guided by a careful assessment of the security situation on the ground and must ensure protection of civilians. #POCWeek2021 #Partnering4Protection

[CIVIC @CivCenter]

🇩🇰@DanishMFA @BilleHermann: We need to be aware that @UNPeacekeeping presence shouldn't be scaled down too fast or in a manner where the result goes back on our ability to protect civilians. It must take place in tandem w/ ensuring host gov. has the capacity to protect civilians.

[CIVIC @CivCenter]

🇨🇦 @ArbeiterRichard @canadaun: Protection of civilians threat assessments must be taken into account when looking at drawdowns & @UNPeacekeeping transitions, and the role gender plays should be considered.

#Partnering4Protection #PeacekeepingProtects #POCWeek2021

[CIVIC @CivCenter]

🇺🇸@USAmbUN: The Biden-Harris administration is committed to ensuring @UNpeacekeeping missions fulfill their mandate to protect civilians. A people-centered approach is needed to keep civilians safe and address protection gaps. #POCWeek2021
