As the UN system continues to grapple with financial constraints, international police officers serving at peacekeeping missions are responding to the challenge.
The UN Police Division is making plans to deploy smaller specialised teams in some field settings, where necessary, who will still “achieve more” despite their reduced numbers.
That’s according to UN Police Adviser Faisal Shahkar, who with UN Police Week now underway in New York, outlined other steps including training national authorities to ensure self-sufficiency.
Mr. Shahkar spoke to UN News’s Dianne Penn about the challenges they face, with safety and security topping the list.
