  1. “Allow me to conclude by paying tribute to all the peacekeepers, from United Nations and regional missions, who have lost their lives in the service of humanity, as well as to all victims of past and current conflicts, including in the Middle East. To do anything other than our very best for them would be a disservice to us all.”

  2. “In my own delegation's region, the Melanesian Spearhead Group, composed of Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands, Vanuatu, the Front de liberation nationale kanak socialiste (FLNKS) of New Caledonia and Fiji, is examining collective peacekeeping capability in the area of police peacekeeping, and we look forward to working with the United Nations to establish capability in this regard, building on Fiji's proud record and established tradition ofpeacekeeping. Fiji itself is in the process of establishing an integrated peacekeeping training institute, whose services Fiji will extend to regional partners once it is established. We look forward to getting United Nations accreditation for this institute to strengthen the contribution that we are steadfastly committed to providing to United Nations peacekeeping.”

  3. “Greater support should also be provided for regional peacekeeping training initiatives to be conducted in regions to build up their peacekeeping capacities. The United Nations already has institutionalized relations with various regional organizations and should look to develop such relations with other regional organizations, and support the establishment of peacekeeping training institutes with United Nations accreditation, through which bilateral support to address the resourcing problems of potential troop-contributing countries could also be addressed.”

  4. “As this affects the durability of peacekeeping efforts, the onus should be on the Secretariat to actively facilitate cooperation of the nature envisaged in the successive reports of the Special Committee on Peacekeeping Operations (C-34) on triangular cooperation in peacekeeping. The United Nations peacekeeping community must also examine how best to support regional peacekeeping initiatives in the medium term. If the best solution for the resourcing shortfalls is to rehat a mission as a United Nations mission, methodical planning through use of best practices is essential, as is the need for a detailed mandate that does not overburden a mission and provides for clear exit strategies. Consultation with troop-contributing countries in this process, again as called for by the C-34, is essential.”

  5. “Regional organizations and their members that are able to provide troops, all of which make large sacrifices in the service of humanity, must not be made to feel that their contribution is somehow inadequate because of the lack of enablers such as armoured personnel carriers, helicopters or new technologies, or, indeed, because ofa lack of financing. If we are truly to benefit from the comparative advantage that regional and subregional organizations can provide, we must, as a United Nations peacekeeping community, ensure that partnerships are created for the long term rather than only in crisis situations, for the proper resourcing of efforts by regional and subregional organizations.”

  6. “The logical corollary is that the response times of regional initiatives tend to be faster than the logistics of launching a global force-generation effort, and a rapid response in conflict situations can save many lives and arrest conflict before it escalates to scales requiring proportionally larger responses. Secondly, and this point is related to that made by many other delegations in today's debate, is the need for adequate resourcing and the means to achieve this. Although regional organizations have the know-how and the personnel to assist neighbouring countries in conflict situations, they do not always have the resources to support such actions.”

  7. “In previous United Nations debates on peacekeeping, including here in the Council in August 2013 (see S/PV.7015), my delegation has made two points that are pertinent to the issue at hand and which I wish to reiterate and expand upon. First, regional organizations ofwhich the concerned country is a member are often likely to have a better understanding of the local situation and culture, thereby allowing a better focus on people-oriented responses tailored to the local situation and the needs of the host country. A linked potential advantage is that the institutional systems of regional neighbours are likely to be similar, rather than a multiplicity of global troop- contributing countries, which would first have to learn the host country's institutional setup before being able to contribute to durable peace impacts.”

  8. “At the outset, Mr. President, allow me to thank you for having convened this open debate on regional partnerships in peacekeeping. Allow me also to thank the Secretary-General and the representatives of the African Union and the European Union for framing the debate through their presentations. Fiji aligns itself with the statementjust delivered by the representative of Egypt on behalf of the Movement of Non-Aligned Countries. The examination of this theme is timely, as the United Nations peacekeeping community applies itself to the rehatting oflarge regional peacekeeping missions such as the United Nations peacekeeping operations in Mali, the Central African Republic and Somalia, whose experiences will provide valuable lessons for the future.”
