As the 62nd Munich Security Conference convenes this week, world leaders, diplomats, and civil society activists are arriving in Munich amid one of the most fractured global security environments in decades.
Desk: Security | Diplomacy
Date: Tuesday, 10 February 2026
Time: 11:00 CET
Location: Munich, Germany
What began as a forum for preventive dialogue now faces a test: can
international cooperation survive simultaneous strains on technology, Middle
East peace processes, and great-power competition?
Behind the
official podiums, thousands of protestors are expected to gather around the
conference venue, not only to voice opposition to war and extremism, but to
rally in international solidarity with
Iranian activists calling for human rights and reform. Reports indicate
tens of thousands intend to signal global unity against violence even as formal
diplomacy unfolds inside.
For many
ordinary citizens from peace advocates to refugees abroad, the Munich gathering
represents more than geopolitical calculus. It embodies the hope that global elites might heed voices often excluded from
corridors of power, including human rights defenders, survivors of
conflict, and youth activists demanding accountability and protection.
Forward-Looking Signal: The Munich conference may well become a mirror reflecting whether global diplomacy can adapt to a multipolar world where citizen voices shape, rather than react to, high-level security agendas.
