The global situation is worsening: Russia’s war against Ukraine has destroyed the peace order that has existed since the end of the Cold War. Worldwide, we are witnessing a shift away fr Annual Conference of the Advisory Board of the German Federal Government on Civilian Crisis Prevention and Peacebuilding om a rules-based order and joint peacekeeping toward the “law of the strongest.” Growing authoritarianism and polarization threaten multilateralism, international cooperation, collective security, democracy, and the rule of law. Hybrid threats are also increasingly coming to the fore – for example, in the form of disinformation campaigns, cyberattacks, sabotage, or the deliberate undermining of social cohesion. Such threats combine state and non-state actors, military and non-military means, and have a cross-border impact. They aim to destabilize democratic societies, hamper international conflict resolution, and impair the ability to prevent crises and promote peace through civilian means.

The need for international and national capabilities for conflict management, crisis prevention, and peacebuilding is increasing. Only a combination of defense capabilities and peacebuilding capabilities can guarantee security for Germany and fulfill the mandate of the Basic Law to serve peace in the world.
