#A4P+ emphasizes the need to advance current efforts to improve the safety, security & well-being of our peacekeepers.
Holding perpetrators of crimes against peacekeepers accountable continues to be a top priority.
UN peacekeepers are #NotATarget 🚫
Ireland's 🇮🇪 first female General, Brigadier General Maureen O'Brien, performed the role of Acting Force Commander for almost a year during her Tour of Duty in the Golan Heights. Her leadership during the onset of the #COVID19 pandemic was key to UNDOF's resilience.
Irish 🇮🇪 female soldiers #ChooseToChallenge gender biases every day by performing their equal and essential roles. As members of UNDOF's Force Reserve, Irish #womeninpeacekeeping are highly skilled - everything from APC drivers to communications specialists to EOD.
@CyberSecwatch @defenceforces Cpl Merrick, It was a privilege to work with you. Best wishes for your future career. Such a great loss for the DF. Thank you for your excellent service to the CIS Coprs and DF.
