Member States Re-affirm Support for Action for Peacekeeping initiative

The United Nations of Earth reporting on this issue: "Member States Re-affirm Support for Action for Peacekeeping initiative"
The topics: Over 150 countries have endorsed the Action for Peacekeeping (A4P) initiative, a mutual commitment to reach for excellence in UN Peacekeeping. On its 3rd anniversary, Member States and supporting organizations re-affirm their support and share reflections on progress made. ------ Through his Action for Peacekeeping (A4P) initiative, the Secretary-General called on Member States, the Security Council, host countries, troop- and police- contributing countries, regional partners and financial contributors to renew our collective engagement with UN peacekeeping and mutually commit to reach for excellence. Peacekeeping is one of the most effective tools available to the United Nations in the promotion and maintenance of international peace and security. Yet peacekeeping faces several challenges that undermine its ability to deliver on its mandates. Political solutions are often absent, and missions seem to have mandates that lack focus and clear priorities. Complex threats in several environments are causing a rise in fatalities and injuries of peacekeepers, and missions have sometimes lacked the personnel and equipment to meet these threats. Peacekeeping operations have also faced challenges in delivering on protection mandates and in contributing to long-term, sustainable peace, and in achieving coherence with other actors operating in the same contexts.
