The Increasing Importance ofUnited Nations PoliceMessage from Alain Le Roy, Under-Secretary-General for Peacekeeping Operations

Throughout the last year the Department of Peace-keeping Operations has engaged in an intensivedialogue on UN peacekeeping with Member States,the General Assembly and the Secretary-General.This October marks the 10th anniversary of the re-port (A/55/305-S/2000/809) that has come to beknown as the Brahimi report. Since the issuanceof this seminal report we have launched numerousnew missions, leading to an unprecedented levelof deployment of uniformed and non-uniformed

personnel in the eld. The United Nations PoliceDivision has grown more than threefold over thisdecade, and today is mandated to deploy morethan 17,400 police ofcers.

The effective promotion of the rule of law is a keyelement to the Departments strategy to createconditions for long-term peacebuilding. In this,the Police Division has helped to lead the way aswe face new challenges and implement increas-ingly complex mandates under difcult political,security and logistical conditions.

In August 2009, the Police Division launched a Global Effort to recruit more female police ofcers withthe ambitious goal of ensuring that women make up one-fth of all UN Police by 2014. This effort ison track with the strong support of Member States. The Secretary-General has also continued hiseffort to promote women to the highest positions inside of the UN and on International Womens Daythis year announced the appointment of Ann-Marie Orler as the new United Nations Police Adviser.

Under Ms. Orlers leadership, the Police Division is continuing and expanding its important work. TheDivision is strengthening its team of specialists in key areas such as organized crime, recruitmentand creating guidance for the police to use when implementing the different mandates that they arerequested to full by the Security Council. The Standing Police Capacity is proving to be an importanttool, deploying quickly to UN missions where police expertise is needed. Within seven days of theearthquake in Haiti, 14 of the 25 Standing Police Capacity ofcers were deployed and working in Port-

au-Prince. DPKO needs this type of rapid deployment capacity to full its mission.

I remain grateful for the support of all Police Contributing Countries and the male and female ofcersserving in our operations around the world.

When whats not supposed to happen, happensAnn-Marie Orler, who was the Acting Police Adviser since October 2009, was appointed

United Nations Police Adviser on 8 March 2010

The people of Haiti have again demonstrated their resilience in the face of catastrophe. The earth-quake on 12 January, the epicentre so close to the surface and just underneath of the capital city ofPort-au-Prince was a massive natural calamity, the human toll devastating, and the damage to theinfrastructure and buildings impossible to imagine. In the more than 200 years since the people ofHaiti fought for and achieved their independence, this small island has suffered scores of disasters,but 12 January 2010 was especially tragic. Schools, hospitals, churches, court houses, police stations,hotels and the Presidential Palace fell to the ground, trapping and killing thousands of people. In amatter of seconds a bustling, energetic and dynamic city was crushed.

Seventy-ve of the 9,718 Haitian National Police (HNP) ofcers lost their lives and 253 were injured.HNP infrastructure was seriously damaged, HNP headquarters, the police training academy and 28 po-

lice stations collapsed. More than two dozens others were damaged. In spite of this, within two weekssome 80% of the HNP were back on duty, patrolling, assuring public order, assisting with humanitar-ian relief, helping people, searching for and arresting prison escapees and protecting important Stateinstitutions. The UN Police were by their side, in spite of the death of 18 of our colleagues, includingthe acting Police Commissioner Douglas Coates and the destruction of the UN headquarters in Haiti.Within hours new police were on their way to bolster the UN mission, and within four days the newPolice Commissioner was in Port-au-Prince. Member States rapidly pledged and deployed extra ofcersand Formed Police Units to help with the urgent need to coordinate and organize the delivery of hu-manitarian assistance.

Within days the Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon visited Haiti and recommended that the Security Coun-cil augment the number of police and soldiers in the MINUSTAH mandate, which was done within oneweek of the earthquake. The UN and the international community reacted quickly and robustly, butthe tragedy in Haiti continues to unfold, and so much more is needed. Haitian police authorities, with

assistance from the UN, developed a two-year strategic plan to re-build and continue the developmentof the HNP which was presented to the donors at the end of March. The UN Police Division remainscommitted to seeing through this re-building. A new class for police cadets has already begun, andthe goal of creating a police service of 14,000 ofcers by 2012 is still in sight. Haiti will stand again.

My New Role

On the 8 March I was appointed by the Secretary-General as the new Police Adviser. I had been actingin this role since October 2009 when my predecessor Andrew Hughes nished his term. As I take onmy new challenges, my rst immediate goal is to improve the Police Divisions effectiveness and ef-ciency in supporting our eld missions. At the same time I want to strengthen the Divisions ties toour stakeholders, including the United Nations Secretariat, agencies, funds and programmes, MemberStates, donors, civil society, and most importantly, the police institutions with which we work and thecitizens whom they must protect and serve.

I will continue to promote the Global Effort to recruit more female police ofcers to national servicesand in turn to call on Member States to do what is possible to deploy more female ofcers to the UN.This magazine describes some of the successes of this effort, including the fact that Bangladesh issending an all female Formed Police Unit to Haiti. Namibia and Tanzania have sent dozens of femaleofcers to the UN peacekeeping operations in Sudan, and Rwanda is aiming to have one third of its UNPolice ofcers female. The Police Division is hopeful that its target of 20% female UN Police deploy-ment by 2014 is possible.

Today the UN is authorised to deploy 17,451 police. As of June 1 there were 13,755 on active duty. The

Division will continue to seek highly qualied ofcers from Member States and is making the selectionand training processes more efcient. The Standing Police Capacity, which is proving to be an essentialtool for planning, starting-up and supporting police services in UN missions, will also be looking fornew candidates this year.

Before the end of this year a framework dening international police peacekeeping will be devel-oped, an Action Plan to support its implementation drafted with Member States and INTERPOL, andguidelines for the role of police supporting post-conict electoral security will be published. The UNPolice Division continues to work closely with the African Union and the European Union to developinternational policing standards.

The Police Division will continue to regularly meet with Police Contributing Countries, to professional-

ize our procedures, operations and image and to support the men and women in the eld operationsto be as professional in these challenging environments as they are in their home countries.

In August 2009 the United Nations Police Divisionlaunched a Global Effort to recruit more femalepolice ofcers into national police services and

into UN Police operations around the world. Thegoal set by the UN is to see to it that 20% of thepolice deployed by 2014 are female. Here is anupdate on this effort:

The Government of India announced its plans todeploy another all female Formed Police Unit toHaiti, in addition to the all female Unit that hasbeen deployed to Liberia since 1997.

Police Adviser Visit to Rwanda

The Government of Rwanda invited Ms. Orler for

talks after they offered to send a Formed PoliceUnit to the UN operation in Haiti (MINUSTAH).She met with senior authorities, including theMinister of Internal Security, the Chief of Staff atthe Ministry of Defence, the General Director ofthe Rwandan National Police and the head of theNational Police Training Academy.

The Police Adviser spoke about Formed PoliceUnits and individual ofcers that would be sec-

onded to UN missions by the Rwandan Govern-ment. It was agreed that 200 or 1/3 of the 600individual ofcer candidates to be selected by theRwandan National Police and to be tested by aUN Selection Assistance Team would be female.

Rwanda currently has 156 Police Ofcers in sixDPKO eld operations.

Nigeria Strengthens its Police

Presence in Liberia

The UN Mission in Liberia, UNMIL, announced inApril that the Government of Nigeria would de-ploy an all female Formed Police Unit (FPU) toLiberia. The Head of the United Nations Missionin Liberia, Ellen Margrethe Lj, applauded the

commitment of Nigeria to involve more womenin peacekeeping, saying it is an important con-tribution to ensure better results on the ground,in fullment of Security Council resolution 1325on women and security. And she went on to say:The participation of women in FPUs enhancesour overall access to vulnerable populations, andsends a message to Liberians that women ofcerscan have any position and play any role in a po-lice organization.

In the last few months the African Union and

UN hybrid operation in Darfur (Sudan) UNAMID,where UN Police are working in and around manyinternally displaced person camps, has received136 female ofcers from Bangladesh (2), Gambia

(41), Ghana (50), Namibia (14), Tanzania (24)and Zimbabwe (5) bringing the percentage ofwomen police ofcers deployed in this operationto 9.6 percent. The Government of Pakistan hasannounced its intention of deploying another 19

female ofcers to UNAMID this year. The formerPolice Commissioner Micheal Fryer, who left UNA-MID in April of this year, had campaigned stronglyto bring more female ofcers to UNAMID.

New Police Adviser Appointed on

mainstream gender

Security Council resolution 1876 (2009) gaveUnited Nations Integrated Missions in GuineaBissau (UNIOGBIS) a mandate to address the is-sue of gender equality and gender mainstreaming

through security sector reform work in Guinea-Bissau. UNIOGBIS was instructed to mainstreama gender perspective into peacebuilding, in linewith Security Council resolutions 1325 (2000),1820 (2008) and 1888 (2009). As a rst step,in March of this year a training on mainstream-ing gender was given to all advisers working inthe Police Reform Unit. The UN Police adviserscompleted the full session of training, which was

conducted by specialists from the Police Divi-sions Standing Police Capacity. At the end of thetraining the Special Representative of Secretary-General for Guinea-Bissau, Mr. Joseph Mutaboba,called on all police advisers to make use of the

training and apply the principles of gender main-streaming to all their activities. Mutaboba em-phasized the importance of training and advisingnational counterparts as part of the implementa-tion of UNIOGBISs mandate.

Bangladesh and the UN

Global Effort

The Peoples Republic of Bangladesh is a UN Mem-ber State strongly committed to supporting Unit-

ed Nations peacekeeping. Since 1988 Bangladeshhas contributed thousands of military, police andcivilian personnel to UN peace missions. Bangla-desh uniformed personnel have served or are serv-ing in: Cambodia, Cte dIvoire, the DemocraticRepublic of the Congo, Ethiopia, Haiti, Georgia,missions in the former Yugoslavia, Liberia, Mo-zambique, Namibia, Sierra Leone, Somalia, Ugan-da, Rwanda, Sudan, Tajikistan, Timor-Leste andthe UN mission in the Western Sahara. One hun-dred Bangladeshi men and women have lost theirlives in UN operations.

The Government of Bangladesh is also commit-ted to promoting women in its military and policeservice. In recent months a campaign to recruitthousands of female police ofcers into its nation-al service was announced, and in turn Bangladeshis deploying more and more female ofcers to UNpeace missions. As this magazine went to printBangladesh was for the rst time one of top 10female Police Contributing Countries (see page 8).

The United Nations Police Divisions Gender Ex-

pert in the Strategic Policy and Development Sec-tion working on the Global Effort, Ms. Lea AngelaBiason, spoke with the Home Minister of Ban-gladesh, Mrs. Sahara Khatoon. Here are excerptsfrom that conversation about the added value ofincreasing the number of female ofcers.

Mrs. Sahara Khatoon, Home Minister of Ban-gladesh:In 1974, we started recruiting womento the police departments in Bangladesh. In 1999,

we started to send ofcers to peacekeeping and in2001 we began to send women police ofcers toUN missions. Approximately 57 women have com-pleted service in UN missions and at present, manyare still working with the United Nations. We are

planning to send a full female team of police toa UN peacekeeping mission (ed note: this FormedPolice Unit was sent to Haiti in May 2010, consist-ing of 130 female ofcers).

In Bangladesh our police women are very dynamicand since the election of the democratic Government,we have started to have more women in positionsof power. I am the Home Minister and I have alsorecruited two police women to be in charge of policestations, one in Dhaka and one in Chittagong.

These women have been dynamic and in thefuture we will recruit more. Today 2,013 femalepolice are working in the police and within threeyears we will appoint 32,000 more ofcers and weplan to recruit many more female police.

Under the leadership of our honourable PrimeMinister Ms. Sheikh Hasina Wazed, who also con-siders it important to empower women, we wouldlike to appoint more female ofcers to every de-partment of the police and the army. In Bangla-

desh, the Prime Minister (see photo below), theHome Minister, the Foreign Minister, the Agricul-ture Minister, and the Deputy Leader of Parliamentare all women.

United Nations Police Division

Reacts Swiftly following Earthquake

The Police Division, like the Department of Peace-

keeping Operations, had never confronted such adevastating natural disaster, and is participating ina Department-wide lessons learned exercise to seewhat could be improved in the future.

These are some of the actions the Division took:On the evening of 12 January, the United NationsPolice Division at UN Headquarters put in place acrisis cell under the leadership of the then act-ing Police Adviser Ann-Maire Orler. On the sameevening the Police Division contacted UN Police inHaiti and learned that the acting Police Commis-sioner was missing.

On 13 January a 24/7 hotline was established by thepolice which functioned until there were no morephone calls. Member States were briefed on 13 Janu-ary and regular meetings with Police ContributingCountries to MINUSTAH were organized after that.

The new Police Commissioner arrived in Port-au-Princeon 16 January. On the ground in Haiti the MINUSTAHPolice began working immediately after the earth-

quake with the Haitian National Police. A FormedPolice Unit camp in the centre of Port-au-Prince wasmade the temporary headquarters for the NationalPolice, and search and rescue operations were begunquickly. Within days Haitian and UN Police were pres-ent throughout the affected areas.

For the last ve years, we are here to establishsome kind of stability because the country wason a verge of civil war. We helped the Haitiansorganize elections, a legitimate President waselected, the Parliament, their Mayors. We pro-vided security because all the gangs were con-trolling the city. We arrested them. We werebuilding up a national police, and the economicdevelopment, tourism, job creation, agriculture,export. And all of the sudden, on the 12th ofJanuary, in 60 seconds, all of that was com-pletely destroyed. Edmond Mulet, the Spe-cial Representative for the Secretary-General(SRSG) for Haiti, formerly the Assistant Sec-retary-General for the peacekeeping Ofce ofOperations. Following the death of SRSG HdiAnnabi, Mr. Mulet was sent by the UN Secre-tary-General to lead the mission in Haiti.

Kenyan Police Peacekeepers

Recognized for their Service

in Liberia

Kenyan police peacekeepers were awarded UNmedals for their contributions to peace in Liberiain March. The 22 UN Police ofcers from Kenyahave been mentoring Liberias police, correctionsand immigration sectors. The Special Representa-tive of the Secretary General (SRSG) for Liberia,Ms. Ellen Margrethe Lj, presided over the com-memoration. In her address Ms. Lj emphasizedthe need to entrench reconciliation in Liberiansociety, urging police peacekeepers to continuewith their efforts to consolidate peace. We mustencourage Liberians to resolve disputes through

reconciliation and learn to co-exist without re-sorting to violence, she explained.

Citing from a lecture delivered in Oslo, in 2004by Kenyan Nobel Prize winner, Professor WangariMaathai, Ms. Lj underscored the notion of trees assymbols of peace in Africa. She said, ...the elders

of the Kikuyu tribe carried a stick from the thigitree that, when placed between two disputing sides,prompted them to stop ghting and seek reconcilia-tion. She added that peacekeepers should tap intotheir own intrinsic, cultural wisdom and do their

part to help heal Liberian communities.

Ms. Lj also pointed out that Kenya is one ofthe few African countries to have embarked onprison reform, with an emphasis on human rightsand humane treatment of prisoners. Kenyans arenow using this knowledge to contribute to Libe-rias goal of establishing correctional institutionsfounded on international standards of prisonmanagement, she said.

In her acknowledgment of the Police, she thanked

them for the Utumishi kwa wote (Kiswahili forservice to all) approach that has helped tocurb criminal activity through support to effec-tive community policing. In this way, you arecontributing to an enabling environment whereLiberians can conduct their day-to-day businessin peace, she said.

United Nations Mission in Sudan (UNMIS) introduces Community

Policing in Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) camps in KhartoumTwo decades of civil war displaced thousands of men,women and children from their hearth and homes es-pecially from the South and Darfur regions of Sudan.Camps sprung up in different parts of North Sudanand Khartoum to accommodate these internally dis-placed persons. Once known as the Carton Camp,as most dwellings in the camp were made of papercartons, Al Baraka IDP camp is home to over 50,000men, women and children. While most of them arefrom Southern Sudan, a sizeable part of the popula-tion is from the West including Darfur. Away fromtheir homes, lacking education, skills, in a land withdifferent culture and religious thinking, it was dif-cult for the IDPs to eke out a living. They lived underconstant fear of relocation, without any form of regu-lar income which prompted some of them to resort tocriminal activities ranging from petty thefts, bootleg-

ging, extortion and at times, to violent crimes. Thepolice often raided the camp in search of criminalsleading to allegations of arbitrary arrests and humanrights violations. This led to a growing gap betweenthe police and the IDP community.

Developing a Model for Community Policing

Community Policing in Sudan was practiced throughthe Popular Police since 1992. However, there wasno effective and long term policing strategy to dealwith the typical security and law and order issuesin IDP camps.

UN Police developed a model based on communitypolicing with a view to empower the IDPs to playa role in enhancing their safety and security and

join hands with the police in crime preventionand maintenance of law and order in the camps.The model was approved by the Director of thePopular Police of the Government of Sudan (GoS),the National Community Policing Coordinator GoSand the IDP community. UN Police developed atraining curriculum based on the model and exten-sively trained the community and the local policein implementing the model. In a unique initiative,special training was imparted to over 200 domes-tic female police ofcers by UN Police ofcers ingender and child protection, an initiative that waswidely welcomed.

The model encourages building mutual trust be-tween the community and the police throughjoint implementation of various activities such astraining of the community and the police to un-derstand the concept of community policing andempowerment of the community to play an activerole in ensuring their safety and security by work-ing hand in hand with the police.

Community Safety Committees

Community Safety Committees have been set upin the camps to oversee all safety and security is-

sues. The model was successfully implemented inAl Baraka IDP camp with several activities jointlyundertaken by the local police and the residentssupported by the UN Police and the United Na-tions Development Programme (UNDP). In anotherunique initiative, UN Police, supported by UNDP,set up Community Aid Posts in the camp to provideofce space and essential infrastructure for theCommittees to meet and function. Two have beenestablished and are fully functional and the thirdone is under construction.

Special Initiatives

A number of condence and capacity build-ing activities to promote safety and securityin the camp have been carried out, rangingfrom drug awareness campaign for the youth,

environmental protection, cleanliness drives,trafc awareness campaigns and neighbour-hood watch schemes. Drives have also beenconducted on generating awareness about childabuse, human rights, HIV/AIDS and domesticviolence. Recently, UN Police night patrols weresuccessfully introduced in the camp with fullsupport of the police and the community. Theoverwhelming support of the women and youth

Joint Deployments

Initially the community aid post in the camp wasstaffed only by community safety monitors and UNPolice. After discussions with the Director of theFamily Protection Unit and the UN Police Commis-sioner, GoS police decided to deploy police women,trained by UN Police, in the camp giving a newdimension and sustainability to the project.

The rst ever UN Police co-location programme inAl Baraka IDP camp took place in March of this year.UNPOL trained GoS female police ofcers are nowco-locating with UN Police and the community in

the camps. UN Police are working through the com-munity centres to promote crime prevention strate-gies and to improve safety awareness in the camp,with special focus on women and childrens issues.

Applying the Model to Other Camps

This model was approved by GoS police and will beintroduced through UN Police working in UNAMIDat IDP camps in the Darfur region of the country.UNMIS Police have been requested to implementthe model in four other camps in Khartoum with

the support of the GoS police and UNDP.

As of today, 130 people have been trained in com-munity policing in wad El Bashir IDP camp and 75in El salaam IDP camp in Ombada County, Khar-toum. One hundred women received family andchild protection training and are actively involvedin community safety activities in these camps.

One hundred popular police ofcers have attendedfamily protection workshops and 105 people havebeen trained in El Salam villages and 60 people in

Mayo of Jabel Aulia.

The successful implementation of this model hascome with remarkable benets to the IDP campssecurity such as dramatic improvement in rela-tions between the police and the community. Thenumber of raids has been reduced and there arenow more visits by non-governmental organiza-tions and donor representatives.

The Indonesian Formed Police

Unit builds trust to serve the

people of Darfur

Providing security and protection to InternallyDisplaced Persons (IDP) for nearly one and a halfyears, Indonesias Formed Police Units (FPUs) havebeen a very capable and integral part of the AfricanUnion and UN Hybrid Operation in Darfur (UNAMID)mandated-task of protecting people of Darfur.

The Indonesian units, each consisting of 140 per-sonnel, including two doctors and four nurses, rstarrived in El-Fasher, North Darfur, in October 2008.

Before coming to Darfur, the peacekeepers re-

ceived special physical training on high-risk op-erations and protection of people in immediatedanger. The units ofcers also passed an arrayof tests, including a psychological exam to de-termine their moral readiness and awareness forwhat they would be faced with once deployed.

Accompanying the units journey to Darfurwere 17 master patrol vehicles, six anti-minearmored cars, eight armor personnel carriers(APCs), one recovery truck, three water trucks,and three ambulances.

When they rst went into an IDP camp they werenot welcomed. During our rst patrols in thecamps, the IDPs threw stones at us. They wereafraid, not knowing that we came to protectthem, Indonesian Captain Ahmed Maktal recalledwith a smile during a recent informal gatheringwith staff.

Solid trust would be earned. In one case, it wasthe swift action by the FPU to come to the aid ofa pregnant woman who required medical care. An

Indonesian police ambulance arrived in minutes.With the help of our nurse, we took her to thehospital, but the Government military stopped usat the gate. We were not allowed to go out of thecamp before 6:30 in the morning we told themit was urgent we had to go through intensivetalks with them before they allowed us to moveon to the hospital, explained Captain Maktal.

An agreement of cooperation was recently con-cluded between UNAMID and the Sudanese mili-tary forces to allow UN ambulances and patrols tocarry IDPs in need of urgent care, without delay,to hospitals.

The Indonesian FPU provides daily protection toAbu Shok, Al-Salam and Zam Zam, three large IDP

camps near El Fasher. The unit also escorts con-voys of UN personnel and UN Police advisers.

The Indonesian FPU also organizes humanitar-ian assistance. They have organized donations ofgifts to the IDP Camp in the area of Zamzam, AbuShouk and Al Salam. They also manage sportingactivities and initiated a 10 kilometer Fun Runin August 2009 during their Independence Daycelebrations. The Indonesian UN Police contin-

gent continues to build trust in communities itserves and is widely respected and appreciated byUNAMID colleagues.

UN Police work in the Abyei Re-

gion of Sudan: Synergy at Work

In May 2008 violent clashes left hundreds deadand injured in Abyei. The entire civilian popu-lation ed the town. There was hardly a Tukulleft standing after the large scale violence andarson. The signing of the Abyei Area Roadmapin June 2008 laid the foundation for restorationof law and order in the troubled area and gavea glimmer of hope that the Internally DisplacedPersons (IDPs) could return to their homes andhearths.

Security arrangements in the Abyei Road MapAgreement (ARA) of 8 June 2008 stipulated thedeployment of a police service after consultations

between the Government of National Unity (GoNU)and Government of South Sudans (GoSS) Ministersof Interior. As a result of discussions facilitated bythe UNMIS Police Commissioner, the GoNU Ministryof Interior issued Decree No. 228 of 24 July 2008establishing the Abyei Area Police (AAP). Thisunique experiment envisaged raising a new policeservice for the Abyei Roadmap area, comprised ofequal representation from the GoS police and theSouthern Sudan Police Service (SSPS).

After considerable efforts the rst batch of 80 of-

cers, 40 from the North and 40 from the South,created the Abyei Area Police (AAP) and weredeployed in Abyei in August 2008. Today thenumber has increased to 356. UNMIS supportedthe initial deployment with food, water, shelterand medicine. Keeping in view the needs of thenascent service, UNPOL compiled a rapid deploy-ment package outlining essential operational,training and logistics needs of the AAP. The pack-age was approved by the GoS police and SSPS and

presented to donors through the United NationsDevelopment Programme (UNDP).

The unique synergy which developed over thenext few months between UNPOL, UNDP anddonors (including the Governments of Germanyand the Netherlands) transformed the AAP intoa functional unit, responsible for maintaininglaw and order in the Abyei roadmap area. UNPOLengineers provided technical assistance, trainingand skilled human resources, UNDP provided sus-tained funding, bilateral donors pledged timelysupport and UNMIS gave infrastructural support.

The AAP was given communication equipment,

police stations along the Miseriya migrationroute and seven trucks for patrolling. The Abyeiand Agok police stations were renovated and amemorandum of understanding was signed be-tween the Sudanese military and the AAP com-manders dening areas of jurisdiction and rulesof engagement. This coordinated effort hashelped facilitate the return of the IDPs to Abyeiand the resumption of some commercial activi-ties in the roadmap area.

Development of Security and Rule of Law in Liberia

Working together >>>

Since the inception of the UN Mission in Libe-ria (UNMIL), the UN Police Component has col-laborated with the United Nations DevelopmentProgramme (UNDP) to assist national law en-forcement partners in their development. Whileoriginally the collaboration was geared primarilytowards meeting immediate needs to enable thetraining of Liberian National Police (LNP), thecollaboration has evolved into a full edged part-nership of national authorities, UNMIL, the Unit-ed Nations Country Team and donors, with thesupport of the Deputy Special Representative of

the Secretary-General for Rule of Law in Liberia,Ms. Henrietta Mensa-Bonsu (see photo below).

Through the assistance of donors, supported bythe administration of funding in UNDP, and withthe technical advice of UNPOL, the Liberian Na-tional Police and the Liberian Bureau of Immi-gration are implementing strategic plans and de-velopment programmes. Through UNMIL partners,the Ministry of Justice and the Bureau of Correc-tions have also designed strategic plans. To bet-ter meet the needs of donors wishing to support

efforts to consolidate and sustain peace and se-

curity in Liberia, UNDP has established a Justiceand Security Trust Fund. This Trust Fund aimsto enable the funding of priority projects withineach of the respective agencies strategic plans.

UNPOL and UNDP also worked with donors andnational authorities to ensure that bilateral andmultilateral support is in harmony with priorityprojects and the achievement of the strategicplans. Among priorities to which many donorshave expressed an interest, and to which manyare already committed, is that of the rebuilding

and strengthening of the Liberian National PoliceSupport Unit. In March 2010, the French Govern-ment provided bi-lateral training in Liberia for150 Police Support Unit Ofcers.

The United States and Germany have both pledgedsubstantial support to enable additional recruit-ment of LNP ofcers into the Police Support Unitand provide training and equipment for the of-cers. This project is unique as it encompassessupport from the Trust Fund, through bilateraland multilateral sources. The Liberian National

Police, UNPOL, UNDP and respective donors are

UN personnel often take on non-ofcial commit-

It is not uncommon for differ-ent UN Police ofces, Formed Police Units and UNmilitary contingents to assist a local orphanage,hospital, school or refugee camp. Sometimes it isno more than bringing clean drinking water once aweek, or making food donations through an opera-tions administrative ofcer.

MINUSTAH); building police institutions in frag-ile states (UNOCI, UNIOGBIS, BINUB) and therole of police in humanitarian crises (UNMIS, MI-NUSTAH). Police Adviser Ann-Marie Orler chairedthe meeting and representatives from the Inter-national Committee of the Red Cross, INTERPOL,the UN Department of Political Affairs and otherofces of DPKO lead working sessions. One daybefore the Conference, Police Commissionershad a seminar with the United Nations Develop-ment Programme (UNDP) to strengthen practicalcooperation and explore areas where joint pro-grammes can be implemented.

The Under-Secretary-General for PeacekeepingOperations Mr. Alain Le Roy held a working ses-

sion with the gathered ofcers, and the Secre-tary-General Ban Ki-moon had a brief meeting.

International Police Peacekeeping

Alongside the development of a doctrine for in-ternational police peacekeeping, the United Na-tions Member States have begun to put pen topaper to draft an Action Plan on measures thatcan help to support the implementation of the

doctrine. The process of developing an ActionPlan was initiated in October last year at the UN-INTERPOL Ministerial Meeting in Singapore. Sincethen Member States have been steadily movingahead. In February this year representatives helda meeting in New York to discuss in an open fo-rum the key challenges and proposed measures forinclusion in the Action Plan. The process reachedits interim conclusion at another meeting in May,and an agreed Action Plan is close to being com-pleted. In the meantime, the process of doctrinedevelopment is also moving forward, as core func-

tions for UN Police are being reviewed and de-ned in ongoing discussions among practitioners,academics, experts at training institutions andamong police professionals.

West African Coast Initiative

On 19 February 2010, Ministers from CtedIvoire, Guinea-Bissau, Liberia and Sierra Leonesigned the WACI - Freetown Commitment en-dorsing the practical implementation of this new,coordinated effort by international organizations

and West African Governments to ght organizedcrime. The West African Coast Initiative, knownby its acronym WACI, was developed in 2008 fol-lowing the adoption of the Economic Commission

of West African States (ECOWAS) Regional ActionPlan on Trans-national Organized Crime in Abuja,Nigeria. Participating international organizationsare DPKO and the UN Police Division, the UN Of-ce on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), the Departmentof Political Affairs (DPA) through its West AfricanOfce (UNOWA) and INTERPOL.

In July 2009, Nigeria chaired a meeting at UNHeadquarters and the WACI partnership with theUnited Nations, INTERPOL and ECOWAS was for-

Police Force or Police Service, How we think about our Work

Ninety-ve percent of police work is serving and some ve percent demands the use of force tosolve a problem. I have had a mission for many years to change the label of police organizations.Sometimes it is the smallest things that create the greatest impact. The United Nations Police is aforce and addresses security, but the method of addressing security is through providing a service.Policing is about service. It is about serving the community. It is about protecting the human

rights of people. It makes a big difference in the mind set of police ofcers when they wake upin the morning and go to work if they are going to work for a police force or a police service. Itis only a label but it inuences the way they think and in turn their attitude. I realize that wehave many police organizations that are more like a force than a service, but that is one of themost important roles of the United Nations Police, when we are in a mission working alongside thehost state police we support them in their transition from police force to police service. It has tostart somewhere and changing the name and the way of thinking is a good start to a much biggerchange. Excerpt from a speech given by the Police Adviser, Ann-Marie Orler in April 2010.

mally launched and it was agreed that the initia-tive would be piloted by Cte d`Ivoire, Guinea-Bissau, Liberia and Sierra Leone.

The Freetown Commitment outlined the agree-

ment by regional governments to ensure practi-cal cooperation in all elds of law enforcement,including forensics, border management, moneylaundering and criminal justice. It also called onparticipating countries to establish TransnationalCrime Units (TCU) and Financial Intelligence Units(FIU) to better address regional criminal syndi-cates. It was an important step to ensure practi-cal cooperation.

This partnership initiative is designed to assistwith the implementation of the ECOWAS Action

Plan to detect, disrupt and dismantle transna-tional organized crime in the region and could besuccinctly described - using our very own DPKOOfce of Rule of Law and Security Institutionsmission statement - as looking to deliver Sus-

tainable Peace through Justice and Security, ex-plained Police Adviser Ann-Marie Orler during themeeting with regional Ministers in Sierra Leone.

To further strengthen this initiative a speacialized

post of Transnational Organized Crime Expert wascreated within the Police Divisions Strategic Policyand Development Section to co-ordinate DPKOsparticipation. Two ofcers from the UN StandingPolice Capacity were stationed in the UNODC ofcein Dakar, Senegal in May to work on this initiative.

The logic of developing Transnational Crime Units,as part of the Freetown Commitment was drawnfrom their use in the Pacic, the Caribbean andin Central and Southeast Asia. These units are re-sponsible for intelligence collection and analysis,

as well as surveillance, investigation, tactical op-erations and international coordination. Typically,a Transnational Unit will contain vetted staff fromdifferent national policing and other law enforce-ment agencies who work as a team.
