Mediation Support Unit

Mediation Support Unit

The Mediation Support Unit was established within the Department for Political Affairs as an outcome of the 2005 World Summit which included a call for the expansion of the UN's conflict prevention and resolution capcity.

The MSU serves as a central repository for peacemaking experiences and acts as a clearing house for lessons learned and best practices. The Unit also coordinates training for mediators and provides them with advice on UN standards and operating procedures.[1]

Between 2008 and 2011, the MSU was involved in supporting over 30 peace processes on all continents.
