  1. “This would also help the Security Council to have a clear insight into available resources to be engaged by those countries in specific missions in order to avoid future serious capability gaps that could jeopardize the implementation of the missions' mandate. In closing, I would like to pay tribute to all United Nations peacekeepers who risk their lives for the noble cause of peace. I would also like to reiterate the readiness of my country to engage constructively and in close cooperation with other Members of the United Nations in advancing the objectives of United Nations peacekeeping. With that in mind, we stand ready to significantly increase our participation in United Nations missions in the coming period.”

  2. “In particular, it would be beneficial if troop- and police-contributing countries could be informed about those meetings and their agendas well in advance in order to have sufficient time to prepare and coordinate with their respective capitals and national contingents on the ground. This would enable them to optimize their contributions to the discussions and improve the overall quality of their interactions with the Security Council members. These meeting are of particular importance in the case of new peacekeeping operations. It would be advantageous to convene them at an early stage in order to incorporate the views of TCCS and PCCs in the planning processes.”

  3. “The Republic of Serbia considers that the consultations between the Security Council, the Secretariat and TCCS and PCCs can play an indispensable role in assessments of the implementation of the mandates of United Nations peacekeeping operations and opportunities to improve arrangements for their management and oversight. The meetings of the Security Council with TCCs and PCCs and the ongoing practice of inviting them periodically to the meetings of the Working Group on Peacekeeping Operations are very welcome. These practices are important mechanisms for ensuring the greater involvement of those countries in an open and inclusive dialogue with the Security Council members on peacekeeping-related issues. Yet there is still space for improvements in this regard.”

  4. “Tens of thousands of men and women serving all around the world under the flag of the United Nations make TCCs and PCCs an essential source of credible and useful information on field developments and operational challenges. In that context, the expertise of those countries should be incorporated into the planning and policymaking processes early on, especially prior to the Security Council's decision-taking on the renewal or appropriate adjustments of mission mandates. The field experience of TCCS and PCCs is also relevant in the process of the reconfiguration of missions, the generation of required capabilities and developing or modifying mission-specific rules of engagement, operational concepts and command-and-control structures.”

  5. “If these efforts are to be productive, all involved actors should make their contribution within the framework of the enhanced peacekeeping partnership between the Security Council, the General Assembly, the host country and troop-contributing countries (TCCs) and police- contributing countries (PCCs). The increasingly difficult operational environments and the multiplicity and complexity of demands and challenges require continuous dialogue and coordination among all involved stakeholders throughout the whole lifecycle of a mission. The active involvement of troop- and police-contributing countries in all stages of United Nations peacekeeping operations has proven to be an important contribution to their smooth functioning and the successful implementation of their ever-diversifying tasks.”

  6. “Addressing these challenges in a comprehensive and proper way requires the coordinated and energetic response of all the Members of the United Nations. Successful peacekeeping is a shared responsibility, so the continued engagement, commitment and dedication of all actors involved are needed in order to improve the ability of United Nations peacekeeping to deliver concrete results at the field level in complex and fragile situations. This requires a broader, holistic strategy that synergizes peacekeeping and peacebuilding efforts to address the interlinked issues of security and development in a comprehensive manner as the best way to prevent the resurgence of conflict.”

  7. “In addition to the necessary political support, the effective matching of human, financial and logistical resources with priority needs is essential to ensuring that there is no discrepancy between the identified objectives and the practical achievements on the ground. While United Nations peacekeeping operations continue to evolve into multidimensional undertakings designed to provide a stable and secure environment for smooth peace processes, it is necessary to ensure the maximum optimization of the existing resources of the United Nations system. It is also of particular importance to mobilize additional capabilities in order to minimize gaps and improve performance in the field, bearing in mind that the absence of critical assets hampers missions' ability to implement their mandates.”

  8. “Serbia attaches great importance to the United Nations role in promoting and maintaining international peace and security and, as a responsible member of the international community, is committed to playing an active role in the United Nations peacekeeping activities, demonstrating thereby its commitment to the goals of the Organization. Peacekeeping operations are among the most important aspects of the capacity of the United Nations to safeguard international peace and security, and a unique and valuable tool in assisting countries to make the transition from conflicts to durable peace in an effective and sustainable manner.”

  9. “Unfortunately, the Permanent Representative of Serbia was unable to join us this evening, so I shall deliver the following statement. My country strongly condemns the terrible attack in Abuja and extends its deepest condolences to the families of the victims, the people and Government of Nigeria, and the whole United Nations community. The Republic of Serbia welcomes the holding of this open debate in the Security Council on the subject of United Nations peacekeeping operations, believing that the Council can only benefit from such a debate. We thank the delegation of India for preparing the concept note (S/2011/496, annex), which will certainly help steer today's discussion on the subject. Serbia has aligned itself with the statement of the European Union. In addition, I would like to make a few remarks.”
