10-Point Compact for Ukraine’s Just and Sustainable Peace

  • GIWPS

This Compact was developed by civil society leaders as part of the Women Leaders Coalition for the Future of Ukraine Summit.

  • As negotiations to end Russia’s war of aggression in Ukraine continue without success, with Russia uncompromising in its original intent to destroy Ukraine and its people, and with the United States reverting to an unusual style of diplomacy and appeasement toward Russia, the Georgetown Institute for Women, Peace and Security (GIWPS) is working closely with women leaders and experts to ensure inclusivity of peace and recovery processes. Our goal is to define the non-negotiable priorities for women leaders and civil society in Ukraine, while also analyzing proposed peace plans and recommending adjustments to ensure effective implementation of the Women, Peace, and Security (WPS) agenda. Below, you will find the Ukraine Compact and a comparative analysis of proposed peace plans from a WPS perspective. 
  • The 10-Point Compact for Ukraine’s Just and Sustainable Peace was published by the Georgetown Institute for Women, Peace and Security (GIWPS) in collaboration with the UK FCDO. Developed by civil society leaders as part of the Women Leaders Coalition for the Future of Ukraine Summit, the Compact outlines ten critical actions the international community must take to secure a lasting peace in Ukraine. These include upholding Ukraine’s sovereignty over occupied territories, ensuring Ukraine’s full participation in political negotiations, and protecting civilian populations. The Compact also highlights key implications for the Women, Peace, and Security (WPS) agenda and provides actionable mechanisms for implementation.The need for principled global action has never been more urgent, and the Ukraine Compact offers a guiding framework for the international community to achieve a just, durable, and inclusive peace in Ukraine.
