His glimpse is tarnished in future. “Who or what peace can be saved?” Ask major German peace and struggle researchers 2025 peace reportWare is being teased in Ukraine, Gaza and Sudan, more than 122 million people have been displaced, and there are many other violent struggles around the world.
Every year since 1987, scientists from four research institutes have developed recommendations for analysis of international conflicts and policy makers. Rarely the peace report has expressed more pessimism as this year.
“In recent years, our analysis has focused on Russia and Russia’s attack on Russia’s attack on the destruction of European system of Ukraine and Russia’s European peace and security in the report in Berlin’s report at Berlin. Since then, he said, the security situation has been deteriorating. “America has become another source of uncertainty.”
Donald Trump’s fast criticism
One of the main focus of this year’s report is on a change in politics in the US, and their analysis is harsh. Researchers have written that US President Donald Trump and “his Maga Movement” said “in a very short time” in a very short time “in a very short time” said “to convert the world’s oldest democracy into powerful rule”.
What is more, the report is going on, the Trump administration is demanding “destroying liberal institutions and peers” at the international level. “Authority rulers and dictators are being agreed, and far-flung populist movements are being supported in liberal democracy.”
Researcher of conflict Das feels that there is a risk that “authority can be contagious.” Even in Europe, there are some worrying trends, such as the attack on educational freedom, and social actors such as churches proceed to limit the freedom of social actors.
Is NATO dead?
According to the report, the transatalantic partnership between the US and Europe “as we knew that” it “came to end.” Researchers believe that this is true for military cooperation. “NATO’s commitment to mutual defense commitment has been shaken, and close relations between the US and Russia not only to come to the expense of Ukraine, but also for European interests.”
It is a direct threat to Germany and Europe. On the questions of NATO’s death, Das said, “The problem is that everything depends on NATO at this time, so no one wants to talk about the end of the actual NATO, even though its main values have disappeared for a long time.” “We are working to cross NATO,” he said, meaning that we should continue working with NATO for a long time, while European capabilities should be stopped simultaneously.
Europeans should be pulled together
The peace report recommends that the German government pursues “transparent, step-step plan” for the “expansion and integration of European defense structures”. However, the report states, the European Union is currently a long way to receive it. “Currently we are seizing in the European Union, we are not a stranger of European Defense Ability within the political structure of the European Union, not a stringent of national defense capabilities within the political structure of the European Union, a loud holder of the European Union. Is, “Institute at the University of Hamburg (IFSH) says Ursula Shrode of Research and Security Policy.
In addition, security should not be understood only in terms of military power. A safety structure, including “Arms Control, Confidence Building Measures and Diplomacy”, emphasized the Conrad Skater from Bonn International Center for Conflict Studies (BICC). Therefore an effective development policy is important. Stringed Arms Policy should not become “free passes for arms exports worldwide”.
No other weapon is delivered to Israel
In his report, researchers specifically express alarm about the global erosion of international law. They inspect a growing trend towards “inhumanization of war”, in which, among other things, the safety of citizens is being systematically disregarded, hospitals and schools are directly targets of military strikes, and humanitarian assistance or exploitation for political purposes. This is clearly clear against Ukraine and in the war of Russia’s aggression in Israel-Gaja.
Researchers are nervous with the situation of Gaza, where War Ware has already claimed the lives of more than 53,000 people and destroyed the region on a large scale. Peace researchers are calling for a “essential” stop for all arms deliverys that can be used in Gaza Strip and West Bank. Israel has violated the International Humanitarian Law and accelerated the boundaries of “legitimate self -defense”.
Do not invite Netanyahu to Germany
The report has asked the German government to honor the international jurisdiction. With this, researchers are referring to a comment made by CDU leader Frederick Mars before becoming Chancellor. After her election victory, Merz announced her intention to invite Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to Germany, even though the international criminal court was a arrest warrant for her.
Merz suggested that he could provide Netanyahu with “means and methods” to “visit Germany and leave again without arrest.” The peace report states: “International law takes precedence on the reasons for the state.” This will “reflect the possibility that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin will be a state trip on a state visit to Germany by Netanyahu.”
In addition, researchers called Germany to work towards the recognition of a Palestinian state in the medium period. He argues that a permanent solution to the Palestinian conflict “will not ban Israel’s right to a Jewish state with safe boundaries in any way.”
