From 16 July to 20 July, 2018, CoESPU
st
organized and hosted the 1 “Child Protection for
UN Police Training of Trainers Course” (UNCP01)
This course was planned in close cooperation with
the UN Integrated Training Service of the Division
of Policy Evaluation and Training of the UN
DPKO/DFS Peacekeeping Operations, with the
objective to foster a process of training
harmonization devoted to UNPOL Officers.
The Security Council has emphasized the need for
training of military, police and civilian
peacekeepers on child protection in a number of
children resolutions, and in this framework protecting children in conflict become a co re
mandate of many peacekeeping operations. In many conflict-ridden countries, peacekeeping
missions are the largest actor on the ground and their contribution is vital to protecting children.
Many are subject to grave violations as abductions, military recruitment, killing, maiming, and
numerous forms of exploitation.
For these reasons, oftentimes, UN peacekeepers are in the front line to create a more secure
environment for the generations to come. Only a dedicated training shall enable peacekeepers to
effectively recognize, report, respond to violations and abuses, and successfully support child
protection activities.
Thanks to this course, the attendees are now further sensitized and better equipped to prioritize
the future demanding tasks and the role in meeting these demanding challenges.
