  1. “Partnerships should also entail a greater focus on providing support to South-South cooperation in the area of security sector reform and peacekeeping.”

  2. “That means that training peacekeeping personnel in SSR needs to be fully integrated across missions, incorporating units responsible for different areas and dimensions. Joint SSR training should occur both before deployment and throughout the mandate of a mission as context and linkages evolve. Lastly, allow me to say that with the multitude of actors on the ground providing assistance, coordination among international and national stakeholders remains as important as ever. It is worth mentioning that one of the key recommendations that emerged from the recent SSR events hosted by Slovakia was the key importance of strengthening partnerships between the United Nations and Member States, regional and subregional organizations and non-State actors involved in SSR.”

  3. “On the other hand, efforts are also needed in the area of human resources, notably by enhancing civilian expertise in peacekeeping, in line with the civilian capacity initiative. Getting the right people into the right posts at the right time is crucial, whether in a civilian, police or military capacity. Thanks to the observations of the Senior Advisory Group (in S/2011/85), we know where gaps are and therefore where to focus our attention to ensure that field missions are staffed appropriately and in a timely fashion to deliver on important Security Council mandates. SSR is not a separate set of tasks, but rather a process that impacts on and is influenced by many others.”

  4. “For example, Indonesia and Slovakia jointly hosted such an event in Jakarta in 2010, entitled "The Role of the United Nations in Multidimensional Peacekeeping Operations and Post-Conflict Peacebuilding: Towards an Association of Southeast Asian Nations Perspective". The meeting highlighted the fact that United Nations multidimensional peacekeeping has essentially become "peacebuilding with security guarantees". Against that background, calls were made for greater complementarity of efforts between peacekeeping and peacebuilding actors. It was noted, however, that this depends largely on resource challenges. There is a need to address issues such as the separate funding of peacekeeping and peacebuilding and the need to consider the interoperability of various funding instruments.”

  5. “Of particular relevance to today's debate is the guidance note on United Nations support to national security policy and strategy-making processes. Supporting national processes from the outset of a peacekeeping mission can help national actors to articulate a national strategic vision based on clear priorities that can guide international support through the evolution from peacekeeping to peacebuilding. National security policymaking can thus help to enhance the coherence of international efforts in the area of SSR, support integrated planning within the United Nations system, and enable the allocation of resources in line with national strategic priorities. The high-level meeting of the Group of Friends of SSR involved presentations from Member States that had organized regional workshops on the United Nations approach to SSR.”

  6. “Notably, in order to support effective multidimensional peacekeeping, there is a need, first, for clarity on strategic priorities across the peacekeeping and peacebuilding continuum; secondly, appropriate capacities to match the needs of peacekeeping missions; and thirdly, effective partnerships based on coordination, cooperation and comparative advantages. The United Nations integrated technical guidance notes were developed by the United Nations inter-agency Security Sector Reform Task Force. The guidance notes are intended to support field and headquarters practitioners and deal with issues such as democratic governance of the security sector, peace processes and gender responsive security sector reform.”

  7. “With the support of the Geneva Centre for the Democratic Control of Armed Forces, the Department of Peacekeeping Operations and the United Nations Development Programme, we launched the first set of United Nations integrated technical guidance notes on SSR. We also organized a high-level meeting of the Group of Friends of SSR and an expert-level seminar on "The United Nations and SSR: towards the next report of the Secretary-General on SSR". Those events provided some key lessons that are of relevance to today's debate.”

  8. “Peacekeepers are now asked to take on a more proactive role and have become peacebuilders. Early stages focus mainly on the stabilization of SSR aspects that are often linked to certain peace agreement clauses. With security restored, as the focus shifts to peacebuilding it is important to ensure that the accountability objective of SSR is not forgotten and is fully taken into account in the country's reconstruction and development plan. Slovakia co-chairs the United Nations Group of Friends of Security Sector Reform. Let me share some insights drawn from a series of events on the United Nations approach to SSR that we organized in December 2012.”

  9. “Slovakia welcomes the opportunity to speak in this open debate on United Nations peacekeeping, with a focus on the nexus between peacekeeping and peacebuilding. We align ourselves with the position presented earlier today by the observer of the European Union. In addition, let me make a few remarks from the point of view of the Slovak Republic. We fully support the idea that peacekeepers are essentially early peace builders and we look forward to the discussion today on how to strengthen synergies between peacekeeping and peacebuilding. It is important to note that the role played by United Nations peacekeeping missions has changed considerably in recent years. That evolution can be seen in particular in the area of justice and security sector reform (SSR).”
