You are warmly invited to the eighteenth annual OxPeace Day-conference, which takes place in the 80th year since the inaugural meeting of the UN General Assembly, held in the Methodist Central Hall, London in January-February 1946. That first meeting designed how the UN would operate to fulfil its Charter. Now in 2026 the UN exists in a world context that has undergone deep changes. What roles does, or should, the UN play now and in the future, and how can it fulfil them? This Conference will consider the broad global picture, and will home in on specific areas including international law, humanitarian action, and peace operations. It will introduce resources for commitment to peacebuilding in some major faiths, with time for interaction, reflection and discussion. Registration is encouraged, especially for catering purposes. Coffee, tea, and a sandwich lunch are provided.
