Germany has long been a global advocate for peace, and its leadership of the UN Peacebuilding Commission (PBC) in 2025 reinforces this commitment.

The PBC plays a crucial role within the UN system, bringing together governments, international organizations, civil society, and financial institutions to support national peace processes. By facilitating the exchange of best practices and lessons learned, it helps strengthen long-term stability in fragile regions.

Germany has already contributed significantly to stabilizing crisis areas—through financial support for UN peace missions, diplomatic mediation in international conflicts, and the promotion of local peace initiatives.

As Chair in 2025, Germany aims to build on these efforts and introduce new momentum for sustainable peacebuilding.
