  1. “When United Nations police receive information, it is immediately transmitted via an integrated system. Integration of that kind is essential within the United Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in Mali, as it allows for immediate information-sharing. Each component — military, civilian or police — has its strengths. For example, when there is intelligence about a potential attack, the force can respond. When intelligence is gathered, it is shared instantly among United Nations police, the force and the civilian component so that we can provide an immediate response.”

  2. “Concerning our response to sexual and gender- based violence in conflict and women in the force, in general, we developed an awareness-raising training course. It is a one-week training course on a specific issue. It might not always be focused on the issue of sexual violence. It is awareness-raising training focused on three issues. All members of the Malian security forces systematically receive such training on human rights, sexual violence and election security. If none of those three issues is the focus of a particular training session, the session still seeks to raise awareness. With regard to the early-warning system and lessons learned, a regular presence on the ground and building trust with the population are essential, as that allows us to gather information.”

  3. “To address that issue, Malian security forces have been redeployed in northern and central Mali. Female units in the Malian security forces have also been redeployed. We therefore request the Security Council to encourage Mali to continue and step up deployment in the north and the centre of the country. With regard to the question from the representative of Mexico on progress made by women in the area of safety and security, there is an eight-week predeployment training course for formed police units before they go on mission. There is induction training for individual police officers. We have set up ongoing training on safety and security. We also work closely with the United Nations Mine Action Service and the force on the issue of explosive ordnance disposal.”

  4. “An individual police officer goes to a unit and shares in the work with the unit and can provide it with various kinds of advice on the daily work of the Malian security forces. With regard to the question about difficulties and challenges, in my opinion, the main challenge is freedom of movement. Formed police units and individual police officers conduct patrols. However, in central Mali in particular, there are challenges to freedom of movement, and we cannot reach all areas. We are trying to meet that challenge with assessments and information-sharing, for example, on protecting the population. We conduct assessments within the civilian component, the police component and the military component to better understand the current challenges and how we can meet them. Freedom of movement is indeed a problem.”

  5. “With regard to the question raised by the representative of China as to the areas in which we deliver our mandate, I have chosen two areas to talk about. The first concerns community policing and its counterpart, the local security committee, which truly make up a body within which security stakeholders, as well as the local population, can meet and discuss their concerns relating to crime and gain an understanding of each other’s issues. Community policing is obviously the best tool to build and reinforce trust between the local population and security forces. The second main area consists of co-location, which goes beyond the subject of training. With co-location, we seek to promote national ownership.”

  6. “As part of the implementation of the Agreement on Peace and Reconciliation on Mali, we are helping to establish community policing and operationalize advisory security committees, which are a consultative framework connecting representatives of the State, the security services and the local population. The end goal is inclusive management and the development of local crime prevention and security strategies. MINUSMA and UNPOL are making great efforts to promote a gender perspective. We know that this is a major undertaking. I would like to end my presentation by expressing two wishes — the mobilization of PCCs for the deployment of even more female police officers, and to see the number of UNPOL staff increase in the near future.”

  7. “Given the cultural dynamics and considering the limited number of women from the Malian security forces deployed in the centre and the north, UNPOL is developing several strategies. One such strategy is strengthening the capacities of the Malian security forces, especially through projects to build women’s dormitories in certain regions, equipped with an adjoining office to improve our victim response. In addition, boreholes are always required alongside the construction of infrastructure — both in the field and at Headquarters — in order to meet the water needs of the population and, by extension, of women. Other measures include training courses carried out as part of a global project and the financial empowerment of women through quick-impact projects. I would be remiss if I did not mention community policing.”

  8. “I remind the Council that, in the framework of the Elsie Initiative, the goal is to deploy a formed police unit with 30 women with a view to mobilizing PCCs in that regard. The second area, the fight against impunity, is also one of our priorities. We have finalized our judicial police chain with the deployment of specially trained police officers as the first responders for victims of sexual violence. We have also made the regional directors of the Malian security forces aware of the technical support we can provide in that connection. The third area is a change of mindset. Creativity is needed for creating greater synergy with the other substantive Mission sections in order to promote a gender perspective.”

  9. “With regard to our support of the Malian security forces, the gender dimension is manifested through our joint patrols; co-location, which concretely demonstrates women’s competence; our training courses, for which we systematically request women’s participation; and education on gender issues during each training course. In addition, we also organize sessions on specific topics, such as the role of women in securing elections. Finally, at each of our strategic meetings, we stress the importance of recruiting and deploying female staff in central and northern Mali. In addition to this general outlook, several actions are currently being carried out. Within UNPOL, there are three main areas of work. The first is the monitoring of infrastructure in the regions.”

  10. “Women are deployed in Bamako and in the regions of operation, and they hold various posts and carry out diverse activities. The visibility of women within UNPOL should help the Malian population and the Malian security forces to see the skills and strengths of women, and even to encourage women to pursue positions traditionally considered as male-only. Although substantial efforts have been made by police-contributing countries (PCCs) to deploy women, they are still under-represented in formed police units and command positions.”

  11. “Furthermore, in the context of the twentieth anniversary of resolution 1325 (2000), the Secretary-General urged that peacekeeping partners recommit to the women and peace and security agenda. Gender is an evolving concept. I will focus on gender relations, without ignoring other aspects of gender, such as transgender. This is a key topic, and the police component has put in place certain actions. I would like to first give the Council an overview of the situation, both internally at the United Nations police (UNPOL) component in the United Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in Mali (MINUSMA) and in our support to the Malian security forces. At the UNPOL level, as of 22 October, 71 of 306 individual police officers — 20.58 per cent — and 200 of the 1,450 members of formed police units — 12.70 per cent — are women.”

  12. “I am very honoured to address the Security Council on the topic of action on mainstreaming a gender perspective in support operations. The concept of equality is old, but its application in the field of gender is more recent. The 1995 Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action, as well as resolutions 1325 (2000) and 2122 (2013), lay the foundation for the integration of women into the heart of peace and security processes. The Security Council addressed this need by establishing a gender strategy for uniformed personnel in peacekeeping operations. In addition, resolution 2242 (2015) calls on the Secretary- General to implement a strategy to double the number of women in military and police contingents by 2020.”
