UN peacekeeping is more important now than ever before. Peacekeeping missions are one of the most effective and cost-efficient means of conflict resolution. Defence Minister Boris Pistorius' visit underscored: 🇩🇪 remains a strong partner of the United Nations in #peacekeeping.

Water must never be weaponised. 💧

At today’s #HRC63 side event, Ambassador Leendertse stressed that access to safe water must be protected, including in times of armed conflict.

Restrictions on water access must comply with international law.
