Communiqué of the 1135th Meeting of the Peace and Security Council, Held on 31 January 2023, on the Inaugural Commemoration of the Africa Day of Peace and Reconciliation.

Abstract

The Council underscored the need of strengthening the pillars of the African Peace and Security Architecture and African Governance Architecture to adequately address structural and cyclical instability; especially the role of the Panel of the Wise in providing early response to early warning through the tool of preventive diplomacy. The Council also requested AU Members States, AU Commission and RECs/RMs to mainstream child protection measures in early warning, conflict analysis, the pacific settlement of disputes, transitional justice and disarmament, and demobilization and reintegration.
