  1. “Especially when we talk about development, there are also capacities that may be more important than language skills. For example, with respect to the database in Haiti, it is more important to have the relevant capacities and language skills may be redundant. But as to the question asked by the Permanent Representative of Chad, for which I thank him, each and every officer in UNPOL speaks French at this time.”

  2. “As regards language, of course since the United Nations police (UNPOL) is the most visible face of the State, we want the Central African police to be present everywhere, and we are there to support them. All of UNPOL staff now speak French in the Mission. This includes individuals not only in UNPOL but also in the formed police units. This is really the first mission in which I have participated where we have had that capability. We even have men and women police who are capable of speaking Sangho because, as they were deployed with the African-led International Support Mission in the Central African Republic to the regional headquarters of the African Union, it was very important to have that contact. But we need to be more specific in terms of qualifications.”

  3. “(spoke in French) Finally, to the representative of Chad, the United Nations police are cooperating with the national and international police, and with the representatives of the African Union. Of course, the African police will always be welcome in terms of coordination. (spoke in English) Finally, it is our intention at MINUSCA to continue to support national institutions operationally and, as has been stressed by several members of the Security Council, we are in the process of establishing a development plan to strengthen the capacities of the national police and gendarmerie.”

  4. “That is how we measure it. And there are tools. My colleague from Liberia spoke about a few. The Strategic Guidance Framework for International Police Peacekeeping will help. I think that I have addressed all the questions, as well as that posed by the representative of the Republic of Korea concerning the case management system. We have an integrated approach, which is what the United Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in the Central African Republic (MINUSCA) offers. MINUSCA enables the protection of human rights, justice, community violence reduction and civil affairs, which will naturally aid in the implementation of the mandate, not only for police authorities, but also for the political authorities and the transitional Government to establish a country where everyone can help and can have a normal life.”

  5. “(spoke in English) Concerning the question from the representative of the United Kingdom about manpower, I do not know a single police commissioner or special representative who will ever be happy with the resources he has, whether human or material. Of course we would be delighted to have more, but we will not complain that the resources we have prevent us from achieving our mandates, particularly when the issue is the protection of civilians. And the level of expectations, particularly in the Central African Republic, is very high. I can assure the members of the Council that we will do our best to successfully implement our mandate. The measure of success is always the end result, and the aim for the end result is to have national security forces and police that are able to provide security to their own people.”

  6. “In every neighbourhood, especially those that are particularly threatened, we coordinate means with deployments. We also have targeted operations, and checkpoint and combing operations, and, when there are threats in more specific spots, we coordinate - and regarding that, I should thank France and Operation Sangaris for their direct cooperation. The representative of Jordan asked about how we coordinate between the police, the military and local authorities. We are trying - because that is our mandate and because peacekeeping missions are always temporary - to ensure that the national institutions always play the primary role in security, and we support that. We have the mechanisms to do so.”

  7. “Where training is concerned, we are helping the national authorities both on the separation of the legislative and executive powers and on basic training of police officers and magistrates. Concerning the question from the representative of France about how things are going with the Bangui Joint Task Force, we have the police and military of the Mission's reserve units working together, as well as the French forces, with whom we have an excellent working relationship, as well as the European Union's EUFOR RCA. As I said, we have an operations centre where the various representatives are all together, sometimes with liaison officers and, when necessary during a crisis, with increased participation of those groups. In terms of the protection of civilians, roles are identified and we coordinate in order to avoid duplication of efforts.”

  8. “Of course, for us in Bangui the protection of civilians is essential. (spoke in French) Regarding the question from the Permanent Representative of Lithuania on how the United Nations police assist the national judicial authorities, the resolution that the Council has given us is a useful instrument for temporary emergency measures, and we have already arrested more than 100 people, but it requires cooperating with the judicial authorities, which we are doing. We are working together with the national police and gendarmerie as well as prosecutors and judges, and, at the end of the process, we are also protecting prisons, so that is the level at which we are working and assisting the national authorities.”

  9. “At the level of the Department of Peacekeeping Operations and the Office of Rule of Law and Security Institutions of the United Nations Police Division, there are clear guidelines; in fact, new standard operating procedures are being developed to make our strategy sharper and more precise, including on the ground, where we must be able to deliver. I would point to the example I mentioned of a flash- point matrix, where all areas are properly listed, with frequent meetings at both the strategic and operational levels geared to working out how we should tackle them. In one particular neighbourhood in Bangui we are specifically conducting operations on the protection of civilians with a police and military capacity, ensuring as far as possible that the people can have a normal life.”

  10. “That is because the country's future, of course, depends on its children, and though it may not be able to deal with that issue, despite the fact that, let us be clear, as many Council members have said, principal responsibility for protection belongs to the national authorities. And, as my colleague from the United Nations Mission in Liberia expressed it well, it is our responsibility in terms of building the capacity of the national police and gendarmerie to help them become effective in this area. (spoke in English) Concerning the question from the Permanent Representative of the United States on how we are implementing the protection of civilians, leadership is of course essential.”

  11. “We also have international security forces from Operation Sangaris and the European Union-led peacekeeping force (EUFOR RCA), as well as the national security forces. So all of that entails a level of coordination that we are organizing through that operations centre in order to achieve coordinated action. (spoke in French) Concerning the question from the Permanent Representative of Luxembourg on coordination in the protection of women and children, that is a very important issue for us, the police. Even at the Mission level we have counsellors for the protection of children. At the United Nations police level, we now have a focal point - as we also do where we have responsibility for judicial cooperation and criminal investigation - in Bangui, as we hope we will also have in the provinces in the future.”

  12. “Concerning the question posed by the representative of Rwanda on cooperation between the military and the police - and in the United Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in the Central African Republic in Bangui we have a battalion from Rwanda that is participating in the Bangui Joint Task Force - we have several instruments, either the normal type, with meetings, but operationally speaking, the operations centre is the same, with both police and military. In the case ofthe Central African Republic, within Bangui the United Nations forces, police and military, are under a single command, a unique experiment that is going very well and that we hope will produce even better results than it has so far. As I said, more than 107 people have already been arrested.”

  13. “But if Member States have more females in their national institutions, it will be easier to have more of them in peacekeeping, so it is a global effort. And finally there is the issue ofproviding special training in language and driving skills, which can be a difficulty in peacekeeping. Of course, we welcome the adoption today of resolution 2185 (2014), which is an excellent initiative that will undoubtedly result in more women entering peacekeeping.”

  14. “Mr. Carrilho: With respect to women in peacekeeping, and particularly in the police, of course much more can be done. A lot has already been done at the instrumental level by the Security Council, through several resolutions, but in terms of improved outreach, the police-contributing countries should clearly be encouraged to participate with more females in peacekeeping. When we are speaking about working with the most vulnerable groups - victims, women, children, the elderly, internally displaced persons and persons with disabilities - the presence of females in peacekeeping really makes a difference. Maybe we can also enhance their conditions in terms of their participation and welfare in peacekeeping; we might give them shorter terms of duty. Of course, as my colleagues have said, training is essential.”

  15. “In conclusion, strong leadership, such as that of MINUSTAH and MINUSCA, within the Department of Peacekeeping Operations and in the United Nations police is necessary to define and carry out the strategies that enable the implementation of police mandates conferred unto UNPOL by the Security Council. I thank the Council for this opportunity. I would like to underscore that we will do our utmost to continue to ensure the credibility of the United Nations police, including in its protection of civilians mission, and to maintain the trust of the Security Council.”

  16. “With regard to the transition between different peacekeeping operations - as was the case with the peacekeeping operations of the African Union and the United Nations in MINUSCA - there is a need to increase the number of female police officers. Despite the efforts deployed, the road ahead remains long. Certain challenges are tied to recruiting obstacles arising from directives or existing practices in the Member States in question. It is important to reiterate our call to Member States to consider the implementation of a policy aimed at having 20 per cent of its deployed police officers be women.”

  17. “In Afghanistan, the police service of the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan plays a coordinating role and provides technical advice for the implementation of the Afghan Democratic Policing Project, a programme that aims to strengthen the capacity of female police officers and improve access to justice for women and children. What are the challenges faced by the United Nations police? With regard to Security Council resolutions, the best way to guide the missions, including their police components, is to ensure that the resolutions are particularly explicit concerning the priority activities and resources that have been authorized.”

  18. “Networks for female police officers were created in peacekeeping operations in the following missions: the African Union-United Nations Hybrid Operation in Darfur, MINUSCA, the United Nations Mission in South Sudan, MINUSTAH, MONUSCO and the United Nations Mission in Liberia (UNMIL). The UNPOL networks have enabled the establishment of similar networks in local police services. With regard to the structural reform of national police, United Nations police is encouraging local police to set quotas for the recruitment of women. Several countries have established such quotas, including Liberia, which, with the support of UNMIL, has established a quota of 20 per cent.”

  19. “The presence of female police officers in UNPOL contributes to the acceptance of women by serving as examples for their male colleagues. In Timor-Leste, the police component established a Vulnerable Persons Unit tasked with investigating domestic violence, sexual abuse and human trafficking and providing protection to victims of sexual crimes. During the transition, the Unit was integrated into the Criminal Investigation Division of the Policia Nacional de Timor-Leste. UNPOL and its local counterparts have also cooperated in order to include women in police services.”

  20. “The role of female police officers is essential to creating an environment in which the victims, particularly victims of rape or sexual violence, feel a sufficient level of trust to come forward and report the crimes. The police components throughout all missions use the female police presence to improve access to and support of populations, particularly women, and to raise awareness of gender-related problems among the national authorities. For example, in MINUSTAH the police have established a Gender Unit. It is specially dedicated to the prevention of, and the fight against, sexual violence in the camps for internally displaced persons. UNPOL is also working to increase the recruitment and the deployment of women in the police stations.”

  21. “One of the important measures taken by the Department of Peacekeeping Operations is that of increasing the number of female police in the ranks. The United Nations therefore launched its global effort in 2000, and then again in 2009. Its goal is to have at least 20 per cent female police officers in 2014. That initiative includes dialogues with police-contributing countries and the creation an international network of women police. In addition, a pilot training programme and a selection process for women police officers have allowed for the nprecedented appointment of 2,000 women. In 2014, three training courses were conducted in Rwanda, Burkina Faso and Cameroon. The presence of women in UNPOL teams increases the ability of missions to build relationships of trust with the population, especially with women.”

  22. “I will now turn to initiatives already in place. In New York, there is training in protection of civilians. In 2011, the Department of Peacekeeping Operations finalized the first programme on the protection of civilians in the framework of pre-deployment training. The training modules are aimed at establishing a common understanding of the protection of civilians. The MINUSCA police have designated focal points that work with the other Mission components on protection of civilian issues, which translates into permanent action on the ground. At MONUSCO, the Working Group on Protection has created a manual for police and military alike, which explains the concept of protection of civilians and provides concrete examples ofproblems that police and military might have to face. I now turn to the issue of women, peace and security.”

  23. “Permanent UNPOL focal points have also been established in the seven largest camps for displaced persons. With regard to the restoration of a protective environment, for us this activity is based on providing assistance to the national security forces and on promoting respect for human rights. In MINUSCA, the police intervene in blatant cases and also in applying urgent temporary measures. On 7 November, the MINUSCA police, together with their military colleagues, arrested and handed over to the national judicial authorities 107 criminals for serious infractions. In the United Nations Organization Stabilization Mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (MONUSCO), United Nations police provide support in the form of specialized training, specifically in the fight against sexual violence.”

  24. “Security patrols are undertaken 24 hours a day, seven days a week, by the formed police units, as well as UNPOL, and there are joint patrols with the international and Central African security forces. UNPOL has frequently intervened to extract and protect civilians who found themselves in dangerous situations. I turn to the United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti (MINUSTAH), which in the framework of the fight against organized crime has conducted significant operations jointly with the Haitian police. The MINUSTAH police and military components assist the Haitian police in anti-crime operations, and that has made possible the apprehension of numerous criminals and the seizure of significant quantities of weapons and drugs. MINUSTAH has established a plan for maintaining order for the camps at risk.”

  25. “Police activities include, among other things, patrols, protection of the freedom of movement and security on the roads in order to allow for humanitarian aid and aid to refugees, as well as maintaining public order. For the United Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in the Central African Republic (MINUSCA), the mandate stipulates that the protection of civilians is the priority. Specifically, UNPOL participates directly in the protection of civilians by offering operational support to the national security forces and directly to the population. I can cite the following initiatives as examples. A flash-point matrix is integrated into all components ofthe Mission.”

  26. “The police components play an important role in the protection of civilians and in capacity-building for local police. Beyond their security role, United Nations police (UNPOL) are involved in restoring trust between the population and their police. Beyond preventive diplomacy, United Nations police contribute to the protection of civilians by working particularly on two fronts: protection from physical violence and the establishment of a protective environment. For the police component, protection from physical violence means preventing, deterring and, if necessary, responding to situations in which civilians find themselves under threat of physical violence.”

  27. “Let me first offer my sincere congratulations to Australia and to all the members of the Security Council for organizing this meeting. It is a great honour for me to participate in the discussion and to be able to brief members of the Council on our actions on the protection of civilians and the participation of women in peacekeeping missions with regard to peace and security. First, the protection of civilians. Although the implementation of a strategy for the protection of civilians is now recognized as a cross-cutting responsibility applicable to all components of a mission, my briefing will focus on activities undertaken by the police components. The police components represent the front line of protection of, and contact with, the local populations.”
