“United Nations Police advisers and mentors are critical to the planning of public order management during electoral cycles,” UN Under-Secretary-General for Peace Operations said.
Addressing the Security Council about the police components of UN peace operations, Lacroix said, “United Nations Police play a crucial role in supporting political processes, strengthening host-State police and other law enforcement institutions, and helping increase trust between communities and the host State.”
Also addressing the Council, UN Police Adviser Faisal Shahkar, said, “Mis and disinformation campaigns have increasingly targeted our missions, complicating our engagement with communities and eroding trust with host State institutions. In response, the United Nations Police has expanded its community outreach mechanisms, enhanced cooperation with mission strategic communications teams, and strengthened local dialogue platforms to reinforce confidence in our presence.”
Police Commissioner of United Nations Organization Stabilization Mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo Mamouna Ouédraogo said, “Protection of civilians remains central to our mandate. Through daily engagement with communities, traditional leaders, civil society, and police counterparts, UNPOL contributes to enhancing early warning, preventing violence, and strengthening community trust in security institutions. Special emphasis is placed on displacement-affected areas, where insecurity exposes civilians, especially women and children.”
Police Commissioner with the United Nations Mission in South Sudan Meinolf Schlotmann said, “The political and security environment remains volatile underscoring the importance of an agile, integrated Peacekeeping Mission with unrestricted freedom of movement under the Status of Forces Agreement. Within this context, UNPOL’s approach is to protect today, while helping build a police service that can protect tomorrow.”

UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Volker Türk, gave an update to the Human Rights Council on the situation in El Fasher, Sudan. As the brutal Sudan war shows no signs of ending, Mr. Türk called on the international community to intervene immediately to stop more mass killings and other flagrant war crimes against civilians.
Rival militaries from the national army and Rapid Support Forces (RSF) militia have been battling for control of the country for nearly three years.
Something must be done to address the ‘continuous inflow of weapons’, the High Commissioner for Human Rights insisted, after recounting testimonies of survivors of atrocity crimes in El Fasher, the capital of North Darfur, by the RSF who overran the city last October.

The Secretary-General is gravely concerned by the reported decision of the Israeli security cabinet to authorize a series of administrative and enforcement measures in Areas A and B of the occupied West Bank. He warns that the current trajectory on the ground, including this decision, is eroding the prospect for the two-State solution.
He reiterates that all Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank, including East Jerusalem, and their associated regime and infrastructure, have no legal validity and are in flagrant violation of international law, including relevant United Nations resolutions.
Such actions, including Israel’s continued presence in the Occupied Palestinian Territory are not only destabilizing but – as recalled by the International Court of Justice – unlawful.
The Secretary-General calls on Israel to reverse these measures and on all parties to preserve the only path to lasting peace, a negotiated two-State solution, in line with relevant Security Council resolutions and international law.
