UN ambassador to the Unibw: A look into the future of peacekeeping!
Universität der Bundeswehr München, 85577 Neubiberg, Deutschland - On May 15, 2025, eleven ambassadors from Africa, Asia and South America visited the University of the Bundeswehr Munich (Unibw M). They were accompanied by Antje Lendetse, the German ambassador and constant representative at the United Nations. The visit underlines the growing importance of international relationships in academic training and research at the university.
The delegation received a comprehensive tour of the campus, led by Martin Welz, a professor of comparative political cultural research. A special focus was on the new cultural sciences course, which deals intensively with the social and political contexts of North Africa. In this context, the group had the opportunity to experience the official greeting by Prof. Isabelle Deflers, Vice President of Internationalization and Diversity.
research on safety -related topics
Another important point of the visit was the inspection of Peter Stütz's laboratory, professor of Aeronautical Engineering. Here he is researching within the European genius project of sensor optics for drones that can be used to detect land mines and blind passers. These research activities are of crucial importance, especially in the context of global peacekeeping.
The final discussion after the visits addressed the challenges and the role of Germany in international peacekeeping. This is particularly relevant because the Charter of the United Nations prescribes collective actions for contraception and termination of intergovernmental conflicts and also illuminates Germany's obligations in this context.
The role of the United Nations
The United Nations (VN) were founded in the context of the Second World War, whereby states should guarantee their sovereign rights and at the same time guarantee collective security. This collective security requires Member States to subordinate their individual interests to the community interest in peaceful international relations. However, critics argue that larger powers tend to put their own security strategies about the collectives.
A functioning collective security system requires clear, generally binding norms and the trust of the Member States in compliance with these standards. In the past, the UN have often dependent on the support of their Member States, which can affect the effectiveness of their measures. In addition, the security council, which bears the main responsibility for world peace, often remains unable to act due to geopolitical tensions.
In an increasingly complex security landscape, it is therefore essential that international institutions such as the UN are adaptable and develop new forms of peace insurance. Peace troops from different countries are a central component of the VN strategy for stabilizing conflict regions.
The visit of the UN ambassadors at the University of the Bundeswehr Munich not only illustrates the importance of the university at an international level, but also the committed endeavor to continue to promote research and teaching in the field of international relations.
