UNDSS

The security environment in which the United Nations operates remains highly complex and unpredictable – conflicts are multiplying and intensifying, internal displacements including unprecedented levels of climate induced migration are increasing, the non-state armed groups are expanding their scope and capabilities by exploiting unaddressed grievances, and the disregard of international humanitarian law by actors in places where the United Nations is called to deliver its mandates is growing. The demand for security and specialized services is at an all-time high and calls for expanded partnership opportunities to enable the UN system to carry out its programmes whilst keeping personnel safe in these increasingly complex and challenging operating environments.
