Peter Maurer: Our Conflict-Ridden Globe and How to Win a Better Future for a Globalized World
“Nearly 160 years ago, the International Committee for the Red Cross (ICRC) was founded. Together with the Red Crescent Movement, both have wanted to combine mitigating measures for victims with respect for norms, principles and policies protecting civilians. All the signs today point to global chronic instability. This is driven by unresolved global and regional power competition; fragmentation and proliferation of nations; marginalization and stigmatization of populations in the aftermath of wars and slow, or non-existent, post-war reconstruction. In early 2021 the ICRC has identified around 90 ongoing armed conflicts. There is an urgent need to build on the experiences of the past few decades and forge innovative responses:Putting human security at the center of our concerns and reconciling humanitarian, security, stability and peace-building agendas. (2) Engaging in quiet but robust dialogue with the armed actors of today's conflicts. (3) Identifying humanitarian issues that can build minimal trust between the parties to break cycles of violence. And (4) striving for new forms of diverse partnerships to find a way through political stalemates. When discussing the political, security and strategic issues of concern to the world, it is urgent to keep human security as our focus. Without human security, we risk chronic instability and cycles of violence without end.”
