The Pell Center for International Relations and Public Policy will host a conversation with Pernilla Rydén, director of The International Forum for the Challenges of Peace Operations and former senior political affairs officer for the United Nations. The conversation will happen on Thursday, March 9, from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m., in the Bazarsky Lecture Hall in O’Hare Academic Building. Salve Regina members and the general public are invited to participate. To register for this event, go here. 

The world is on fire. From Latin America all the way to Asia, countries everywhere are struggling with violent conflicts, internal instability and political unrest while facing new threats like climate change and misinformation. The international community is struggling to find solutions to these complex issues. With significant polarization across borders: where does the United Nations stand?  

Join the conversation to discuss hopes and concerns for the stability of the world. This discussion will focus on the current state of affairs, and it will also look ahead to the future of U.N. peace operations and the important role of a tricky multilateral system. 

Pernilla Rydén serves as the director of the Challenges Forum International Secretariat. She has extensive experience working with peace and security over the last 20 years. These experiences include numerous U.N. peace operations, the Office of the Special Envoy of the Secretary-General for the Great Lakes, the Swedish embassy, the European External Action Services (EEAS) and the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE).

Most recently, Rydén held the position as chief of staff of the U.N. mission to support the Hudaydah Agreement (UNMHA) in Yemen, where she delivered on the relevant parts of the Stockholm Agreement. Rydén holds a master’s degree in political science and economics from the University of Lund in Sweden.
