Briefing the Council, Emma Birikorang of the Kofi Annan International Peacekeeping Training Centre, highlighted the democratizing effect of peacekeeping on the security sector in host communities and troop-contributing countries.
She pointed out that several police-contributing countries are young democracies with checkered histories that may be grappling with their own internal security challenges.
The mutually beneficial relationship between United Nations police in the peacekeeping theatre and upon their return home results in a domino effect of the practical learning experience, she said.
She said Ghana’s formed police unit, originally established to deploy to international peacekeeping missions has been increasingly used for internal operations.
