Since the new millennium, the nexus between health, peace and security has been heavily investigated in academic and policy arenas, especially since the first UN Security Resolution 1308 on a health issue - HIV and peacekeeping (UNSC, 2000). More recently, Francoise Holland, the French President stated, “Our commitment to eradicate extreme poverty by 2030 is at stake; as is the cohesion of the international community at a time when health risks represent one of the major threats to peace and security” (Hollande, 2016)
