“Such an approach can help to develop an effective plan of action for establishing and strengthening peace. In other words, the key to success lies in eradicating the drivers of instability, not just managing its symptoms.”

“Lastly, developing a culture of peace should be a priority for all peacekeeping operations, as well as for the United Nations system, country teams on the ground, international partners, the local media and civil society. The participation of women in all stages and at all levels of our peacekeeping activities will make them more effective. We should also make creative and innovative use of social media and digital technology for more effective leadership, as well as in combating violent extremism and gender-based violence. Modern conflicts are so complex that peacekeeping operations alone cannot resolve them. In that context, the key to the success of our actions includes thoroughly analysing the key causes of conflict, investing in development, combating climate change and addressing food insecurity and water and energy shortages.”

“Fourthly, peacekeeping operations need clearly defined mandates, objectives, command structures and adequate resources based on realistic assessments of the situation and long-term sustainable financing. We need fresh approaches that are practical, achievable and realistic. That demands increased situational awareness with the potential for rapid responses in combating asymmetrical challenges and threats. Fifthly, since peacekeeping contingents are not appropriate mechanisms for counter-terrorism operations, we want to point out that regional forces are generally better able to combat terrorist groups, as many such cases have shown. At the same time, United Nations peacekeepers must maintain their strictly defined role should they be jointly deployed with regional forces.”

“Secondly, peacekeeping operations must strictly abide by the purposes and principles enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations, and all new proposals and conditions must be carefully reviewed by the Special Committee on Peacekeeping Operations. Thirdly, since peacekeeping operations today reflect the issues present in a very complex security environment, we must focus on ensuring cooperation among all States Members of the United Nations by building trust among the permanent members of the Security Council in order to harness all available mechanisms. Through increased cooperation with regional and subregional organizations and the effective division of responsibilities, we can improve overall efficiency.”

“We also need a regional approach to dealing with cross-border challenges and threats rather than the more frequently applied narrow, country- specific approach, since solutions to current problems are not to be found within the borders of a single State. Then there is the principle of one United Nations, with greater coordination, streamlining and efficiency at Headquarters and in the field. We must avoid the excessive fragmentation of programmes and projects, combining the efforts of the various parts of United Nations programmes in order to implement steps towards achieving the Sustainable Development Goals.”

“In that regard, through analysis of the measures and processes undertaken by the United Nations in the areas of peacekeeping and peacebuilding, we would like to share with the Council the following observations and conclusions, which are based on our approaches and our colleagues' experience within the framework of Kazakhstan's examination of the practical aspects of deploying military contingents to peacekeeping operations. To begin with, finding solutions to today's problems of security and development requires a comprehensive, three-pronged approach, whose main elements are, first, the interconnectedness of security and development. We firmly believe that if we are to achieve long-term peace and security, we must also implement programmes designed to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals at the same time.”

“Asymmetric threats are growing and peacekeepers are becoming targets for attacks. Since 2000, many reports have been issued on improving United Nations peacekeeping, including three in 2015 that made specific recommendations. While changes have been introduced into peacekeeping, the number of deaths has increased, especially in five of the largest United Nations missions in Africa. All of that shows that conflicts, especially protracted ones, need a collective approach and efforts to improve peacekeeping operations conducted through the joint actions of all interested parties.”

“Mr. Mukhtarov (Kazakhstan) (spoke in Russian): I would like to thank the presidency of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, for organizing today's debate on a very important issue. I am also grateful to the Secretary-General, Mr. Anto'nio Guterres, as well as to Mr. Moussa Faki Mahamat, Chairperson of the African Union Commission, and Ms. Fatimata Toure, the Director of Groupe de recherche, d'etude et de formation femme-action, for their very informative and inspiring briefings. While peacekeeping operations have fostered peace and stability in many areas of conflict, some missions have been going on for decades as a result of a lack of political solutions. Peacekeeping missions carry out their activities in conditions where the local power structures are unable to fully ensure security.”
