Pakistan has called for ensuring effective deployment and utilisation of financial and human resources in the UN Peacekeeping Missions.
"Peacekeepers must be deployed in accordance with standard and agreed procedures that ensure operational effectiveness as well as safety and security", Pakistan's UN Ambassador Munir Akram told a special committee of the General Assembly on Monday.
As one of the largest troop contributors, Pakistan is currently participating in 11 operations in Africa and elsewhere.
The ambassador said UN peacekeeping had emerged as a vital element in the maintenance of order in many parts of the world. There had been some failures in the past, but in the last decade - in Timor-Leste, Burundi, Sierra Leone and elsewhere - the Organisation's peace efforts had been largely successful.
And while the Security Council, the Special Committee and the Secretariat could take credit for the achievements of the Organisation's peacekeeping, it was important to remember that it was the peacekeepers - the boots on the ground - who executed the strategies and mandates, often in the most difficult of circumstances.
Ambassador Akram said that Pakistan looked forward to discussing further the five priorities - partnerships, doctrine, people, organisation and resources.
In the context of partnerships, the Pakistan ambassador noted that the contribution of regional organisations was complementary to the primary role played by the United Nations.
To that end, Pakistan supported increased co-operation with the African Union and support for African capacity-building.
The potential of regional and sub-regional organisations to contribute to United Nations peacekeeping should be assessed realistically both from the political and operational and financial perspectives.
Member states were the building blocks of partnerships, he said, adding that troop-contributing countries should have an increased role in overall decision-making processes.
They also needed support to enhance their own peacekeeping capacities, including the creation of national peacekeeping training institutions.
