In that context, it has been agreed the Conference headline: “Effective Peace Operations Through Training:
Renewing Commitments and Advancing Partnerships”. The title aims to emphasize, in line with the contents of
above mentioned declaration, the need for concrete results in the field of training, also through the promotion
of collaboration among associates in specific areas or activities (for example exercises, exchange of internship
and research programs, lessons learned, etc.).
The results of the survey enabled to identify the general Conference sub-themes, from which the program draft
outline was subsequently elaborated, among which many of police interest, such as: Environmental/Cultural
Heritage Protection, Definition and Promotion of Standards for Integrated Peacekeeping Exercises, Sharing of
Knowledge and Experiences among Peer Training Centers, etc. included in the final session of the event entitled
“Developing Partnerships through the IAPTC; a more robust IAPTC”.
Another proposal raised by the Police Board Chair was discussed: as previously recommended by the Police
Division of the UN Department of Peace Operations in preparation of the New Zeland Conference, in order
to hold a Police Workshop the day before the
beginning of the main event. The UN Police
Division Adviser, Maj. Gen. Louis Carrilho,
from his office at the UNHQ, enthusiastically
agreed to take on the responsibility of organi-
zing the event. The Executive Committee una-
nimously approved and scheduled the Police
Workshop for Sunday 6th October.
The works of the preliminary meeting of the
IAPT Executive Committee, were officially con-
cluded with a reception held at the Peruvian
Air Force Club, chaired by the Minister of De-
fense José Modesto Huerta Torres.
