Ambassador Dang Dinh Quy, Vietnam’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations, has spotlighted the important role of new technology in peacekeeping, noting that technology is an efficient tool to enhance the capacity to protect civilians and protect peacekeepers themselves in conflict hotbeds.
With the application of technology, peacekeepers can perform their duties more effectively in a wide range of aspects, from information collection and analysis to early warning and control, the formation of strategies to deal with conflict hotspots and consequences, Quy stated.
During its open debate, the UNSC adopted the first presidential statement on the use of technology to improve the safety of peacekeepers, and a resolution that promotes accountability for acts of violence toward UN peacekeeping personnel.
