1/ Next week, #SouthKorea🇰🇷 will (now virtually) host the 2021 @UNPeacekeeping🇺🇳 Ministerial meeting. The aims are to discuss key issues in #PeaceOperations + generate concrete pledges of assets & capabilities from 🇺🇳 Member States.

2/ The pledging summits began in 2014 and have significantly increased the capabilities registered in the UN's🇺🇳 strategic force generation system: the #Peacekeeping Capabilities Readiness System pcrs.un.org/SitePages/Home…
3/ Ideally, the UN🇺🇳 wants it Member States to offer capabilities that are most in demand in its #PeaceOperations and to fill capability gaps in existing missions. Here's the pledging guide for the 2021 ministerial peacekeeping.un.org/sites/default/… 
4/ The pledging meetings enable 🇺🇳 Member States to discuss key #peacekeeping issues of the day, but they've also become a useful tool for civil society groups to advocate for national commitment to @UNPeacekeeping🇺🇳 Here's an example from 🇺🇸

5/ Although the UN🇺🇳 hasn't established a new #peacekeeping operation since #MINUSCA🇺🇳🇨🇫 in 2014, personnel & assets are constantly rotating in/out of the existing missions. Force generation is a perpetual & complex job; hence the need for updated pledges. pcrs.un.org/Lists/Resource…
