We thank Under-Secretary-General @UNPeacekeeping@Lacroix_UN for sharing his vision & insights on the future of #UN#peacekeeping during the Annual Adenauer Address at @KAS_ny
Despite challenges, UN peacekeeping remains a vital instrument for peace & security

There has been a lot of talk about a "crisis of peacekeeping" @UN (see e.g. the current @TheEconomist).
But @FortiD and I see some glimmers of a more constructive conversation about the future of @UNPeacekeeping emerging at UNHQ 👇

In our latest for @crisisgroup, @RichardGowan1 and I take stock of recent peacekeeping debates at the UN.
We come away with a less fatalistic view than one might expect, arguing that the time is ripe for fresh thinking about the future of UN missions.

Expressed my appreciation to Secretary of State Nils Hilmer for Germany's exceptional contributions and support to @UNIFIL_ including the Maritime Task Force. Discussed the upcoming #PKMinisterial in Berlin to ensure peacekeeping is fit for the future & its challenges. #A4P
Happy Birthday @UN zum 79. #UNDay! Wir sind für die Vereinten Nationen in unterschiedlichen Missionen rund um den Globus im Einsatz. U. a. in der #UNIFIL Maritime Taskforce. Dort unterstützen wir seit 2006 den Libanon bei der Sicherung seiner Küste & stärken die 🇱🇧 Marine.
Women peacekeepers play a critical role in advancing peace worldwide.
The Network for Uniformed Women Peacekeepers works to increase the number of #womeninpeacekeeping & improve the conditions of their deployment.

Poland welcomes the growing support for the @UNIFIL_ peacekeeping mission.
Currently, 40 countries have co-signed our joint statement. Thank you 🇨🇴🇩🇪🇬🇷🇮🇳🇵🇪🇺🇾.
Also grateful for 🇨🇭 endorsement.
Germany, a troop contributing country to @UNIFIL_ peacekeeping mission in Lebanon, joins the group of signatories of this important statement . Attacks on the peacekeepers must stop.👇
‘Blue helmets’ from @UNPeacekeeping mission @UNIFIL_ came under fire for the second day in a row in #Lebanon on Friday, amid intensifying Israeli bombing of Beirut and southern areas

Israel has the right to defend itself against Hezbollah’s attacks. But shelling #UN peacekeepers is unacceptable. The safety of @UNIFIL_ personnel in #Lebanon must be assured. We expect the incident to be fully investigated and clarified.
The UN peacekeeping mission @UNIFIL_ has been operating along the "Blue Line" since the 1970s.
But what is UNIFIL & how are UN peacekeepers meeting the challenge of escalating conflict in #Lebanon?

To ensure that the United Nations’ peacekeeping efforts can succeed in resolving conflicts, not just doing damage control, UN member states must provide stronger and more unified support to these missions, writes @Lacroix_UN.
