“But mission transitions also pose risks. The international community may pay less attention to the country concerned.

In recent instances, peace operations have developed joint transition plans with host governments - such as in East Timor, Côte d'Ivoire and Liberia.”

STORYLINE
Secretary-General António Guterres told the Security Council today (18 Jul) that when a UN peacekeeping or political mission comes to an end, the transition is “a moment of hope, potential and promise” but mission transitions “also pose risks” as “strategic gains achieved during decades of international support can hang in the balance.”
Guterres said “the loss of life, economic devastation and reversal of development gains caused by a relapse into conflict can go far beyond a country’s borders.”
The Secretary-General said, “the United Nations’ role in transition processes must be comprehensive and coherent, and work in an integrated way to address the interlinked and often stubborn drivers of conflict: poverty, exclusion, inequality, discrimination and violations of human rights, exacerbated by climate change and the movement of people.”
In his address to the Council, the Minister for Foreign Affairs of Colombia, Carlos Holmes Trujillo, in his capacity of Chair of the Peacebuilding Commission said, “the challenge of peace consolidation and support is crucial in transitional contexts.”
At the conclusion of the peace operations, he said, “the authorities have the primary responsibility to preserve achievements in this area after the respective conclusion of peace operations” and noted that in recent instances, “peace operations have developed joint transition plans with host governments - such as in East Timor, Côte d'Ivoire and Liberia.”
In 2015, the Council expressed its intention to regularly request and consider the advice of the Peacebuilding Commission (PBC), including during the drawdown of peacekeeping operations and special political missions.
