Reimbursements to troop-contributing countries are the largest expense in #peacekeeping, and rates are artificially inflated by inclusion of pass-thru payments. Reducing rates would allow more troops to be deployed and more TCCs to benefit from participation.

Peacekeeping is one of the United Nations’ great success stories. We need to combine our efforts & use this year’s session of the Special Committee on Peacekeeping Operations #C34. So that #peacekeeping remains ready to serve & fit for purpose.
Statement: new-york-un.diplo.de/un-en/275682...
Peacekeeping is noble—but history shows its limits. Engagement must always be balanced with awareness, strength, and strategic independence.

The #UN is developing a new vision for police in #peacekeeping. How can we make sure this exercise doesn't exacerbate internal turf wars but instead helps peace operations meet the moment and address unintended negative consequences of existing approaches?
