A key concern of this outline is to pave the way for a broader and inclusive discourse about the guiding principles for promoting peace and human security, especially in cooperation with partner countries. Fighting inequality and injustice – within and between states and societies – has always been at the very heart of development cooperation and peacebuilding. In times of a raging climate crisis, a global pandemic, ongoing warfare, and a spike in world hunger and poverty, it has become clearer than ever, that the threads for peace and security are globalized and interconnected. Based on a comprehensive understanding of security with fundamental rights and freedoms for all members of society, FriEnt aims to broaden perspectives for a multidimensional approach on pressing issues for peace and security and their implications in different parts of the world.
