UNITED NATIONS, Nov 30 (Asia Free Press): Pakistan called for enlarging funding for the 31-member body’s peacebuilding activities aimed at economic and financial stabilization of those nations, reported by a state-run Associated Press of Pakistan.

“Pakistan, as a troop-contributing country for six decades, has observed first-hand how the UN peacebuilding can act as a catalyst to mitigate violence and restore peace and stability in conflict-affected countries,” Permanent Ambassador of Pakistan to UN Munir Akram told the Commission’s annual session on financing for peacebuilding.

Pakistani troops have often mobilized their resources to complement peacekeeping efforts with peacebuilding initiatives, calling the benefits of such endeavours “profound and far-reaching.” He said.

In his remarks, Ambassador Akram stressed the need for sustaining the existing funding streams to the Commission while referring to the programmatic funding earmarked for peacebuilding activities in several peacekeeping missions, according to APP.

“It should, in fact, be enlarged through the Security Council’s legislation of the appropriate mandates and the resources for appropriate mandates which should cover this peacebuilding aspect as well.” APP reported.
Ambassador Akram added that specific needs and priorities of the selected countries should ideally be identified by the governments of the countries concerned to mobilize additional resources for peacebuilding.
“These needs should then be transformed into specific projects and the financial support then mobilized for such projects from bilateral and multilateral sources, including the Peacebuilding Fund.”

Permanent Ambassador said “supports the expansion of the Peacebuilding Fund through all possible means — larger contributions from existing donors; contributions from new donor countries, especially countries which have a national security interest in stabilizing a particular country coming out of conflict; and contributions from institutions, especially the international financial institutions (IFIs)/Multilateral Development Banks in particular”, reported by APP.

“Peacebuilding and humanitarian support to distressed populations should not be nullified by sanctions and asset freezes which contradict or deteriorate the objectives of peacebuilding and security stabilizations or humanitarian assistance,” the Pakistani envoy stressed.
