The United States has a tradition of working hand in hand with the international community to foster the development of peace and security around the world.

As a world leader and team player, the U.S. should support UN peacekeeping missions essential for peace and security in war torn nations, support international treaties against the use of child soldiers and attempt to deter acts of terror which destabilize communities and tear families apart.

Citizens for Global Solutions advocates reforming existing international structures to ensure they are able to respond and manage crisis efficiently. The international community should also identify a series of steps to determine when and how they should respond to warning signs from a volatile nation, to avert a full-blown conflict, massacres and atrocities.

Citizens for Global Solutions work towards a world where the United States and the international community have the ability to respond to international events without delay. We work to:

• Establish an effective rapid response capacity at the UN with strong member state support and resources to counter crises as they occur effectively and efficiently

• Promote a U.S. foreign policy seriously supportive of an effective UN peace and security capacity

• Promote consistent multilateral responses by U.S. leaders to international crises in which protection for individuals is required, humanitarian aid is necessary and coordinated international response is essential for the security and development of the nation

• Encourage debate on the international community’s responsibility to protect

• Provide information to the public about multilateral efforts to tackle international terrorist organizations and stop the spread and use of conventional weapons and weapons of mass destruction.
