Be Peace For Peace: Peace Leadership and the UN
Today I learned that Youssef Mahmoud wrote a paper about peace leadership and the UN. Here is the link:
https://reliefweb.int/report/world/what-kind-leadership-does-sustaining-peace-require
In his article he discusses a great deal of what has been posted about here on this page in the last few months; namely that we need to frame or even reframe sustainable peace. As readers of this page know, DPLI goes beyond sustainability and speaks about flourishing peace. Mahmoud's application of these concepts to the UN is a good one, as he is referring to the internal leaders of the UN for one of the first times in history. DPLI maintains that the same model of Peace Leadership applies to those working in the peace keeping sector as well as those in business, politics... AND the model applies to the "how" of creating flourishing peace; of wich the leaders are a large part. It is so refresshing to see Peace Leadership make the mainstream! Let's keep it up!!!
