USG Field Support

by Atul Khare and Jean-Pierre Lacroix United Nations peace operations promote stability and security in some of the world’s most dangerous and fragile places. Before the COVID-19 pandemic, overstretched UN peacekeepers—civilian, military,  and police—were a thin blue line helping to protect civilians, support peace agreements and contain conflicts in hot spots and war zones across the globe.

Under-Secretary-General for Operational Support, Mr. Atul Khare, has released a video message to the staff, clients and partners of the new United Nations Department for Operational Support, which will be established as of 1 January 2019, conveying well-wishes.

Atul Khare, Under-Secretary General for the Department of Field Support, discusses UNCOPS 2018 and charting a vision for UN Police to strengthen its ability to effectively prevent and address security threats before they transcend borders.
