Peace The UN, despite spread criticism about its efficacy and the revision of US multilateral engagements, is renewing itself through two new ambitious and action oriented frameworks: the 2030 Agenda, which commits countries to transform the world by achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and the complementary approach to the overarching goal of sustaining peace emphasized by the new Secretary General, António Guterres, in order to address the root causes of conflicts and favour preventive diplomacy. Peru, building on its traditional commitment to multilateralism, has played an important role in setting up both frameworks and is committed to their implementation. On the one hand, by aligning its national developmental policies and strategies with the SDGs. On the other, by making sustaining peace a core guideline for its participation in the Security Council as a nonpermanent member during the biennium 2018-2019.
