  1. “Australia thanks Brazil for convening today’s open debate and highlighting the importance of strategic communications in peacekeeping operations. As a key priority of the Action for Peacekeeping Plus (A4P+) initiative, they represent a pillar of our collective efforts to achieve the Action for Peacekeeping vision. Australia renews its commitment to the A4P+initiative and looks forward to ensuring that peacekeeping operations are effective, efficient and supported by clear and accurate strategic communications.”

  2. “Secondly, through our pledge to fund the establishment of an innovation hub in the Department of Peace Operations, we have taken practical steps to help fully implement the Strategy for the Digital Transformation of United Nations Peacekeeping. I am pleased to announce that Australia has released the first tranche of funding for that exciting and important project. Effective strategic communication must harness all available mediums, many of which are delivered and accessed digitally. The innovation hub will assist the United Nations, in partnership with a broad group of stakeholders, to identify and address complex issues through cost-effective, innovative solutions tailored to the needs of peacekeeping missions.”

  3. “We strongly urge action to help peacekeeping missions better identify and counter these tools of conflict, thereby reducing the risk of violence to peacekeepers and civilians. Australia currently supports the integration and implementation of strong strategic communications in two key areas. First, since we view peacekeeper preparation as central to building awareness of the importance of strategic communication among our deployed personnel, we have partnered with our regional family to deliver effective, contemporary predeployment training. The recent opening of Fiji’s Blackrock Camp is a strong example of such cooperation, and Australia looks forward to supporting that facility as a regional centre of excellence in peacekeeper training.”

  4. “They enable the dissemination of facts, the correction of disinformation and the building of credibility in our work, and they can mobilize civil society — including, importantly, local women leaders — to advocate on behalf of vulnerable populations. Australia supports the use of strategic communications to spread awareness of a mission’s mandate and counter misinformation, disinformation and hate speech in peacekeeping environments. We also see them as integral to effectively delivering on mandate elements that support key pillars of the Action for Peacekeeping Plus initiative, particularly women and peace and security and the protection of civilians. We join with all stakeholders in peace processes to better understand how false narratives are used to inflame conflict.”

  5. “I thank you, Mr. President, for convening this important debate, and I thank the Secretary-General for his remarks and continued efforts to improve mandate implementation and preserve the safety and security of peacekeepers. Today’s peacekeeping missions face many challenges, including ambiguous information landscapes. Ceding the information space to those who work against the efforts of the international community can undermine the effectiveness of peace operations and damage the credibility of the United Nations. Strategic communications bridge the information gap between peacekeeping operations and local populations.”
