The Peace and Security Monitor

Quarterly analyses

The Central Asia Programme releases the Peace & Security Monitor quarterly. Each issue closely follows the latest developments, provides an overview of the relevant events and analyses their consequences.

Monitoring and review of State obligations

The Peace & Security Monitor analyzes peace processes, conflicts, and factors that cause instability in the region. We monitor how political actors shape the current geopolitical situation and review State obligations.

Actionable policy recommendations

Actionable policy recommendations provide clear navigation to decision makers in accordance with the organisational objectives of promoting and advocating humanitarian values.
