Peacekeeping Operations
Norway's Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Morten Wetland, presented a statement to the Fourth Committee on 26 October 2009. The statement was part of the debate on the "Comprehensive review of the whole question of peacekeeping operations in all their aspects."
The ambassador place particular emphasis in the statement on the Training for Peace in Africa programme.
- Norway is actively engaged with African partners in the training of civilian African personnel through our Training for Peace programme. Together with our Nordic partners, and in cooperation with EASBRICOM, we are also contributing to military capacity-building in East Africa.
Amongst others the "Bottleneck Study" conducted by NUPI and TfP partners was highlighted:
- We must also address bottlenecks in the deployment of civilian personnel, who often play a crucial role in civilian protection. The tasks in this field are enormous, and many different actors and agencies are involved. This means that strong leadership and clear communication of roles and responsibilities are essential.
