ISF Joins United Nations Academic Impact

New York — The United Nations has selected the International Security Forum (ISF) as an official member of the United Nations Academic Impact, a global initiative that aligns institutions of higher learning with the United Nations. ISF now joins more than 1,000 member institutions throughout the world.

“We are pleased to partner with the United Nations, and look forward to contributing to the furtherance of the UN mandate, particularly in the context of conflict resolution,” said ISF Director Edmund Janniger. “Moreover, we anticipate fruitful collaboration with other UNAI member institutions.”

The United Nations plays a major role in fostering peace and security, with the Secretary-General, the General Assembly, and the Security Council playing complementary roles. The United Nations is also engaged in the areas of conflict prevention and mediation, peacemaking, peace enforcement and peacebuilding.

ISF has committed to advance the UNAI principles, including the forwarding of peace and conflict resolution through education. Recognizing that promoting peace and justice is one of 17 Global Goals that constitute the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, ISF will align relevant programs, projects and initiatives with the United Nations.
