The UK has circulated a concept note which proposes several guiding questions, including: The annual briefing is usually held in an interactive format to allow the force commanders to supplement their briefings with responses to questions and issues raised by Council members. In doing so, the UK, which is the penholder on PoC, is seeking to build on the annual Security Council open debate on PoC in armed conflict that took place on 23 May. The UK, July’s Council President, decided to convene the briefing, which is expected to focus on the protection of civilians (PoC) and the role of the military components in preventing and responding to threats of physical violence.
The annual briefing by heads of military components of UN peacekeeping operations to the Council has been held since 2010 but did not take place last year. Tomorrow morning (28 July), the Security Council will receive a briefing on UN peacekeeping from Under-Secretary-General for UN Peacekeeping Operations Jean-Pierre Lacroix and the heads of military components of three UN peacekeeping operations: Force Commander of the UN Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS) Lieutenant General Mohan Subramanian, Force Commander of the UN Organization Stabilization Mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (MONUSCO) Lieutenant General Otávio Rodrigues de Miranda Filho, and Head of Mission and Force Commander of the UN Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) Major General Aroldo Lázaro Sáenz.
