UN APPG: Ambassador Thomas Pickering, and Ambassador Lakhdar Brahimi on Afghanistan: negotiating peace

For nearly ten years, the US and the international community have been engaged in the struggle to secure a stable peace in Afghanistan. 

The international task force to look at Afghanistan in its regional and multilateral dimensions, organised by The Century Foundation under the leadership of Ambassadors Lakhdar Brahimi (UN negotiator and the architect of the Bonn agreements on Afghanistan), and Thomas Pickering (former US diplomat), have just released their report, Afghanistan: Negotiating Peace. Their findings and recommendations seek to determine what kind of political path might lead to ending the war.

Chaired by Lord Hannay, this meeting was hosted jointly by the UN APPG and the APPG on Global Security and Non-Proliferation.
