“In the spirit of this meeting, we have some questions. Some of them have already been brought up by a number of other speakers, so I will ask those that no one has posed yet. First, generally speaking, what are the obstacles to women's full integration into peacekeeping operations? Have there been any assessments made of the obstacles that they face in different geographical areas? Secondly, what is the impact of peacekeeping operations on the ground in the wake of the new changes made through the Action for Peacekeeping initiative? In conclusion, Equatorial Guinea remains firmly committed to continuing its support for all peace initiatives, from prevention to peacekeeping and peacebuilding at every level.”

“The Action for Peacekeeping initiative strengthens peacekeeping by mobilizing collective action by peacekeeping actors, including all States Members of the United Nations, the Security Council, the General Assembly, financial contributors, troop- and police-contributing countries, host countries, intergovernmental, regional and subregional organizations, civil society and the Secretary-General ofthe United Nations. In that context, Equatorial Guinea appreciates all the reforms and actions that have been undertaken by the Secretary-General, as well as the improvements that have been made in the balance of the capacities of peacekeeping operations. That represents a successful transformation with considerable progress in terms of political solutions to conflicts and in improving the political impact of peacekeeping.”

“To that end, it is clear that United Nations police peacekeepers must have the best possible training and equipment and the highest standards of personal conduct considering the level of their responsibilities. At the global level, my Government therefore commends the work of the police in peacekeeping missions in building and strengthening peace at every stage of a conflict, because we understand that the police embody and sustain people's survival in conflicts by monitoring, applying, protecting and supporting the law, working as they do alongside the civilian population and facing the same challenges on the front lines in carrying out their job of ensuring citizens' security. For that, police services must be effective, efficient, representative, receptive and responsible so that they can serve and protect populations.”

“Issoufou Yacouba, Police Commissioner of the United Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in Mali, and Mr. Awale Abdounasir, Police Commissioner ofthe United Nations Organization Stabilization Mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. We also thank the presidency of the United Kingdom for including this important item on the agenda of its presidency. It is an opportunity for all of us to discuss and analyse the development and ongoing progress of peacekeeping operations in the wake of the Secretary-General's reforms. As we well know, police in peacekeeping operations are one of the most effective tools that the United Nations has for ensuring, maintaining and building peace.”

“Mr. Asumu Abeme (Equatorial Guinea) (spoke in Spanish): I would first like to commend Mr. Jean- Pierre Lacroix, Under-Secretary-General for Peace Operations, for his comprehensive and excellent briefing to the Security Council, which has once again given us detailed information on the current evolution of peacekeeping operations through the reforms introduced by the Secretary-General, aimed at comprehensive improvement and structural innovation with regard to equipment and human capabilities, with a view to dealing with new challenges in an agile, effective and coherent manner.
