🚨NEW on the Global Observatory: What Is the State of UN and Regional Interventions in Eastern DRC? Interview with Congolese researcher and human rights lawyer, Pascal Kambale. At the end of 2023, the UN Security Council, on the request of the Congolese government, decided to withdraw the decades-old UN peacekeeping mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (MONUSCO) by the end of 2024. But as the year comes to a close, MONUSCO has only pulled out of one of the three provinces of eastern DRC, and there is no set timeline for completing the withdrawal. In this interview with Albert Trithart, Pascal Kambale, a Congolese researcher and human rights lawyer based in Goma, helps unpack the complex array of security actors present in the eastern DRC and how they are perceived by local Congolese.

🚨 NEW on IPI’s Global Observatory: Despite recent achievements, significant gaps remain in UN policies aimed at promoting racial equality. Why do race and gender matter in national monopolies at the UN? By Nycolas Candido and Vitória Gonzalez from Plataforma CIPÓ. This is not just a matter of appearance; it’s a matter of policy. Many of the issues the UN deals with—such as climate change, development, and security—have disproportionate effects on countries in the Global South and on marginalized and minoritized populations. Racial diversity is a crucial indicator that a multiplicity of experiences, perspectives, and life stories are making their way into discussions, decision making, and actions.
