About the Peacebuilding Commission
The United Nations established the Peacebuilding Commission in 2005 to improve the international community’s support for countries just emerging from violent conflict. The Commission (or PBC) is an intergovernmental advisory body with 31 member states. It provides short to medium-term engagement between the international community and vulnerable governments and serves as a forum for bringing together stakeholders to ensure better coordination in peacebuilding. The Peacebuilding Commission was created by the Security Council and General Assembly in joint resolutions (S/RES/1645 and A/RES/60/180) and began meeting in June 2006. Within the UN system, the Peacebuilding Commission is unprecedented in its organization and mandate, including providing advice to the Security Council and the Economic and Social Council on critical peacebuilding issues. The PBC is also mandated to engage with the World Bank and IMF. La Commission de Consolidation de la Paix Créée par les résolutions concomitantes du Conseil de sécurité et de l’Assemblée Générale (S/RES/1645 et A/RES/60/180), la Commission de Consolidation de la Paix a commencé à se réunir en juin 2006. Sa structure et son mandat la rendent un organe véritablement innovateur au sein du système des Nations Unies, en particulier dans sa capacité de donner des recommandations au Conseil de sécurité et au Conseil économique et social en ce qui concerne des questions de la consolidation de la paix. Son mandat lui exige d’engager également dans les consultations avec le Banque Mondiale et le Fond Monétaire International. |
