The Seoul UN Peacekeeping Ministerial and the preparatory process will focus on achieving concrete and tangible outcomes to improve peacekeeping operations, in line with ongoing peacekeeping reform efforts, specifically Action for Peacekeeping+ (A4P+). The Secretary-General has put forward A4P+ as a new implementation strategy for Action for Peacekeeping.

 

Thematic focus

In consideration of the impact of medical support and technology on enhancing peacekeeping, the Seoul UN Peacekeeping Ministerial will highlight medical capacity building and technology in peacekeeping as important cross-cutting issues. The Ministerial will draw on the Strategy for the Digital Transformation of UN Peacekeeping and specifically articulated UN requirements for medical support, as well as discuss opportunities to improve the environmental footprint of peacekeeping. Women, Peace, and Security, which has been a key focus of previous Ministerial meetings, will have a dedicated side event and will be mainstreamed throughout the preparatory process and the Ministerial itself.

The objective of the 2021 Ministerial is to strengthen UN peacekeeping, including by improving the performance and impact of UN peacekeeping operations in line with A4P+; and to further this objective, close capability gaps through concrete pledges including by facilitating new and sustainable partnerships while strengthening existing ones.
