Geneva Peace Week 2018

5 November 2018 - 9 November 2018
Geneva, Switzerland

The Geneva Peace Week Building Peace in a Turbulent World this year takes place from 5-9 November 2018. It emphasizes the urgency of finding peaceful solutions for the growing risks of violent conflict, building on the lessons from history and the needs for future peacebuilding practice.

Collective security and peace practice represent a rich tapestry of challenges and achievements, as well as devastating failures. Geneva Peace Week reflects on the lessons of a century of liberal internationalism in the service of peace and focuses on the roles that every person, actor and institution can play in building peace and resolving conflict. Awareness of the potentials and pitfalls of these roles is ever more important to build and sustain peace in a turbulent world and to broker the partnerships necessary to address them.

The 2018 programme will be published here at the beginning of October 2018.
