A NOTE ON TRAINING PEACEKEEPERS

A Training Unit established in the Secretariat's Department of Peacekeeping Operations provides guidance, expert assistance and information to Member States on peacekeeping training. The Unit develops training modules and other material aimed at spreading the cumulative knowledge and standard operating procedures gained through years of peacekeeping experience. The Unit works with military staff colleges, national and regional training institutions in many countries and with peacekeeping missions. UN Training Assistance Teams and "train the trainers" courses have been set up to assist Member States in developing and implementing peacekeeping training programmes. A Code of Conduct and various manuals and handbooks have been devised to help achieve uniformity in basic standards.
