Sustaining Peace through the Tolerance, Peace and Security (TPS) Agenda
The UAE Mission to the United Nations, in partnership with New York University’s Peace Research and Education Program (NYU-PREP), is developing a TPS Series—a set of expert roundtables linked to the implementation of UN Security Council Resolution 2686 on Tolerance, Peace and Security (TPS).

The first roundtable "Sustaining Peace through the Tolerance, Peace and Security (TPS) Agenda" will provide an opportunity for a broad range of stakeholders, including Member States, United Nations entities, academia, civil society organisations, and practitioners, to examine how hate speech, acts of extremism, and related forms of intolerance are affecting peace and security dynamics in different contexts.

The roundtable will:

Provide an overview of how hate speech, extremism, and related forms of intolerance influence conflict dynamics and peace processes across the peace continuum;

Facilitate an exchange of perspectives among stakeholders on how these dynamics are affecting international peace and security and the work of the United Nations, including peace operations, the Peacebuilding Commission, and UN Country Teams;

Gather perspectives and recommendations to inform the development of a shared framework and practical guidance to support implementation across the peace continuum
