    Sustaining Peace in Bougainville

    Twenty-three years ago, the Bougainville Peace Agreement ended the deadliest conflict in the South Pacific since World War II after a decade of fighting. The hard-won peace in what is now the Autonomous Region of Bougainville — made up of Papua New Guinea’s easternmost islands — has been regarded as a rare success story among contemporary peace processes. However, Bougainville’s political future remains unresolved. On October 18, USIP hosted a conversation about the implementation of the Bougainville Peace Agreement and what the peace process’s uncertain future might mean for peace and security in Bougainville, Papua New Guinea and the broader region. Speakers Gordon Peake, Ph.D., moderatorSenior Advisor, Pacific Islands, U.S. Institute of Peace James TanisFormer President, Autonomous Region of Bougainville Kevin PullenFormer Strategic Adviser to the Chief Secretary, Government of Papua New Guinea; PhD Candidate, Department of Pacific Affairs, Australian National University Camilla PohleSenior Program Specialist, Pacific Islands, U.S. Institute of Peace   For more information about this event, please visit: https://www.usip.org/events/sustaining-peace-bougainville

    Part 3: Mobilizing Latin American Citizens Against Corruption

    Curbing corruption in Latin America requires more than just top-down institutional reforms — it requires the active engagement of citizens across the region. On October 15 and 16, USIP held three webcasts exploring how to empower citizens to hold local officials accountable, how to use restorative mechanisms to repair the harms suffered by vulnerable communities, and how to mobilize the private sector against the unfair practices that stifle competition. International experts shared lessons learned around the world and discussed replicating these initiatives in Guatemala, where the government has made fighting systemic corruption a national priority.
