  1. “We must further enhance this cooperation by relying more on the participation of TCCs and PCCs, as well as of host countries, in particular in informal discussions with Council members. We encourage the Council to further strengthen this cooperation as part of the reform of its working methods. Hungary reiterates its strong support and highest appreciation for the work of the peacekeeping missions of the United Nations. We would hereby like to express gratitude to the peacekeeping personnel who serve or have served in United Nations missions, and convey our deep respect for those who have lost their lives in service of the cause of international peace and security.”

  2. “Secondly, cooperation with regional organizations must be improved in all regions of the world. There are good examples and best practices we can build on and which should be used more widely. In order to increase efficiency, emphasis should be placed on developing local know-how and capabilities. Africa, where the largest part of United Nations forces is concentrated, is a case in point. Most important of all, we must preserve and further improve the global peacekeeping partnership. Troop- and police-contributing countries play an essential part in this partnership and deliver first-hand experience that is indispensable to the work of the Security Council.”

  3. “It is becoming more difficult for every one of us to find the resources needed to send further troops, offer additional technical advice, and spend more money on peacekeeping activities. Nevertheless, it is of the utmost importance to provide the necessary resources to implement effectively the complex mandates of today's peacekeeping operations. Thus, new solutions need to be found to meet those new challenges. First of all, preventive diplomacy and conflict prevention must play a bigger role in the activities of the United Nations. Peacekeeping is part of the political solution and not an alternative to it. We must individualize our processes and have a well-defined exit strategy for each peacekeeping mission in order to avoid a prolongation of operations without clear prospects.”

  4. “Our country's goal is to contribute to the improvement of United Nations peacekeeping capabilities by preparing Hungarian and international peacekeeping personnel for their future assignments. The present global economic crisis has sharpened the focus on the financing of peacekeeping operations. Against this background, many United Nations Member States, including Hungary, put greater emphasis on the need for enhanced efficiency in the implementation of the United Nations peacekeeping budget. As a troop-contributing country, we also understand the added burden that many troop- and police-contributing countries (PCCs) face in this difficult economic climate.”

  5. “In this regard, Hungary supports all reform proposals that will enable peacekeeping operations to respond effectively and in a timely manner to violent conflicts in order to protect civilian populations and to establish the conditions necessary for long-lasting peace. The question of capabilities and resources lies at the heart of the peacekeeping reform debate. Developing military and police capabilities is an important tool to enable complex peacekeeping operations to carry out their mandates effectively. Regarding the improvement of capabilities, Hungary attaches utmost importance to the training of peacekeeping personnel. The Hungarian Defence Forces Peace Support Training Centre, located in Szolnok, Hungary, has a long history and unique expertise in training peacekeepers from different parts of the world.”

  6. “At the outset, on behalf of the Government of Hungary, I join the unanimous condemnation in the strongest terms by all previous speakers today of the attack against the United Nations building in Abuja. I extend our deepest sympathies to the victims and their families and to the United Nations. Hungary thanks India, one of the top troop- contributing countries (TCCs), for its initiative to convene this open debate on the peacekeeping operations of the United Nations. Hungary fully aligns itself with the statement delivered earlier today on behalf of the European Union. The world has changed significantly since the first Blue Helmets were deployed in the late 1940s. We consider it an important and urgent task to continue the review of United Nations peacekeeping in order to adapt it to the challenges of the twenty-first century.”
