Commission on Global Security, Justice & Governance

The Hague Institute for Global Justice and The Stimson Center, based in Washington, D.C., view the intersection of security and justice as critical to understanding and addressing common global threats and challenges, the effective management of which requires innovative and collaborative action at various levels. On this fundamental theme, we have conceptualized a major new project built around a Commission on Global Security, Justice, and Governance, composed of a select group of eminent statespersons and public intellectuals.

A chief goal is to issue, in June 2015, a focused set of global policy and institutional reform recommendations in advance of the United Nations’ 70th Anniversary Summit, which isplanned for September 2015 in New York. Designed to start a conversation in the tradition of the 1995 Commission on Global Governance and the 2004 High-Level Panel on Threats, Challenges, and Change, the project will consider new frameworks for collective action on critical issues such as state fragility, the cyber-economy, and the anticipated effects of climate change on peoples’ lives and livelihoods.

In the coming months, multi-stakeholder consultations on these issues will be conducted, including with UN Member State representatives and officials at UN Headquarters, and as well as in conjunction with the following events:

- The Hague Conference on Business and Human Security (September 2014)
- The India Conference on Cyber Security and Cyber Governance (CyFy) (October 2014)
- The UN Climate Change Conference in Lima (December 2014)
- The Munich Security Conference (February 2015)

The Commission’s recommendations will aim to complement the UN Post-2015 Sustainable Development Goals agenda, the intergovernmental Fourth Global Conference on Cyberspace in The Hague (April 2015), the recommendations of UN Peacebuilding Commission 10-Year Review (October 2015), and the UN Conference of Parties on Climate Change (COP 21) in Paris (December 2015).
