  1. “We also underscore the importance of ensuring adequate financing and resourcing of all mandated United Nations peacekeeping operations to enable them to fulfil their responsibilities and support peacebuilding activities throughout the life cycle of peacekeeping operations, especially during transitions.”

  2. “In that regard, we hold that, even as peace operations may impose tailor-made solutions to address the drivers of instability in host States, a strong push should always be made to implement bottom-up approaches drawing out community and national ownership for the investments in peace, which will also interlock with regional early warning and conflict prevention mechanisms that can sustain and support peace efforts. In conclusion, we encourage the further deployment of innovative and technological solutions to address the challenges of peacekeeping and support the performance of UNPOL within the mandates of United Nations peace operations.”

  3. “As we have noted before, United Nations policing has a demonstrative effect, especially on host communities, and, working with host States and local communities, we must leverage that unique advantage to undermine some of the grievances that violent extremist groups and terrorists have used to prey on many fragile communities. Ghana will encourage the sustained engagement of the Department of Peace Operations and field missions in that regard. Secondly. Ghana supports stronger national ownership of preventive measures and stresses the responsibility of Member States to sustain the national peace infrastructure in a professional way to work with regional organizations in implementing prevention strategies.”

  4. “Within the context of the Secretary-General’s New Agenda for Peace and the Action for Peacekeeping and Action for Peacekeeping Plus initiatives, allow me to make the following points, which are germane to the work of the United Nations police (UNPOL) and have the potential to contribute directly to the realization of the Secretary-General’s New Agenda for Peace. First, amid the growing challenges facing United Nations peace operations, we call for a key role for UNPOL in peace operations to rebuild trust and solidarity with communities in ways that can strengthen the social contract of citizens with their governance institutions and leaders, protect and empower citizens, and foster trust within distrustful societies.”

  5. “It has also contributed to building confidence in fragile communities through intelligence-backed surveillance and community policing, and has facilitated accountability through investigations of incidents of sexual and gender-based violence, human rights abuses and other serious crimes. With 468 police officers, comprising formed police units and individual police officers at various United Nations mandated missions, we recognize the importance of constructive deliberations in order to build consensus on measures to boost preventive diplomacy, shape the prevention and sustaining peace paradigm within countries, transform gender power dynamics in peace and security and strengthen peace operations and partnerships.”

  6. “On this occasion, we deem it appropriate to pay tribute to all United Nations peacekeepers, especially police personnel, for their commitment and continuing efforts. For those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty, we pray for the continued peaceful repose of their souls and for their sacrifice not to have been in vain. Since Ghana first deployed police personnel for international peacekeeping duties to the Congo in the 1960s, we have continued to hold firm the norms required for international policing, as demonstrated throughout the peacekeeping cycle in our pre- to post-deployment practices. Apart from providing physical protection for civilians and ensuring law and order in conflict areas, our contributions have supported the United Nations policing in restoring hope to distraught and displaced civilians.”

  7. “Let me begin by thanking Mr. Jean-Pierre Lacroix, Under-Secretary-General for Peace Operations; Mr. Christophe Bizimungu, Police Commissioner, United Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in the Central African Republic; Ms. Christine Fossen, Police Commissioner, United Nations Mission in South Sudan; Mr. Faisal Shahkar, United Nations Police Adviser; and Ms. Karin Landgren, Executive Director, Security Council Report, for their insightful briefings on different aspects of United Nations policing. Over the years, the United Nations has demonstrated its capacity for maintaining social order in fragile and conflict contexts through the provision of effective, efficient and accountable policing across different United Nations peacekeeping missions.”
