In October 2017, the Secretary-General submitted a proposal ([http://undocs.org/a/72/525 A/72/525]) for the restructuring of the peace and security architecture of the Secretariat on the basis of recommendations from the internal review team established in January 2017.
The four main goals of the restructuring are to:
# prioritize prevention and sustaining peace;
# enhance the effectiveness and coherence of peacekeeping operations and special political missions, ensuring the primacy of politics and flexibility of approach;
# make the peace and security pillar more coherent, nimble and effective through a “whole-of-pillar” approach to address fragmentation; and
# align the peace and security pillar more closely with the development and human rights pillars.
