Earlier today at the UN, Ireland co-sponsored the UNSC Resolution on Accountability for Crimes Against Peacekeepers. Such attacks on UN Peacekeepers are a violation of international law and those responsible must always be brought to justice. #UN #Peacekeepers #Accountability #IE
Today I laid a wreath to commemorate the nearly 4,500 people who have lost their lives since @UNPeacekeeping began almost 80 years ago. And I was humbled to posthumously bestow the Dag Hammarskjöld Medal to 68 peacekeepers who have made the ultimate sacrifice. They represent https://t.co/Q35qhBZnjt #UNPeacekeeping #Peacekeepers #Memorial #Therearenospecificcountrycodesmentionedinthetweet.
Another mortar attack on the UNIFIL peacekeeping force in Lebanon occurred yesterday. My thoughts go to the family, loved ones, and comrades of the Serbian Blue Helmet who died, and to the two others who got injured. Attacks targeting peacekeepers are unacceptable and must #UNIFIL #Lebanon #Peacekeepers #LB #RS
I condemn the recent killing of a Serbian @UNIFIL_ peacekeeper in Lebanon. Seven peacekeepers serving with UNIFIL have now been killed & several more have been wounded since the escalation in hostilities since March this year. These attacks must stop. #Peacekeepers #Lebanon #UNIFIL #SRB #LBN
Peacekeepers would still be needed in Lebanon, even after UNIFIL's mission expires at the end of the year.
I am deeply saddened by the death of a UNIFIL peacekeeper in southern Lebanon. My heartfelt condolences are with his family, loved ones and fellow peacekeepers at this tragic time. My thoughts are also with those injured in the attack, and I wish them a full recovery. #UNIFIL #Peacekeepers #Lebanon #LB
UN peacekeepers serve in some of the world’s most dangerous environments. Their mission has never been more necessary. Investing in peacekeeping means standing in solidarity with those who need it most, upholding the @UN Charter & building a more secure future for everyone. #Peacekeeping #UN #Solidarity #Nospecificcountrycodesarementionedinthetweet.
