Dr Mahmoud is a Senior Advisor at the International Peace Institute (IPI). He was the Secretary-General’s Special Representative and Head of the UN Peacekeeping Mission in the Central African Republic and Chad before retiring from the United Nations in 2011.
The Institute was recently ranked in the top 15 most impactful think tanks in the world on the Global Go To Think Tank Index. The research produced by the IEP is used extensively by governments, academic institutions, think tanks, non-governmental organisations and by intergovernmental institutions such as the OECD, The Commonwealth Secretariat, the World Bank and the United Nations.
Founded in 2007 by IT entrepreneur and philanthropist Steve Killelea, also a long time friend and partner of the Club Madrid, (see full bio), the Institute for Economics and Peace is impacting traditional thinking on matters of security, defence, terrorism and development.
