UN Secretary to PMPP TNI Sentul, Agreement to Peace Contribute · Global Voices

Secretary General of the United Nations Antonio Guterres appreciated the contributions of the Indonesian National Army in preserving world peace.

That statement, he delivered when he visited the Peace Preservation Center in Sentul, Bogor, Monday (19 / 10).

"I'd like to extend my appreciation to Indonesia for its steadfast support against UN peacekeeping operations over the years, including one of the hosts of the Minister's Level meeting about the maintenance of peace next year with the Dutch," said Guterres.

Currently, nearly 2,000 Indonesian uniform personnel, women and men, served as peacekeepers on seven missions worldwide.

"Including the mission in the Central African Republic which you will soon follow," he said.

The peacekeepers, said the Guterres, will face the world's most dangerous environment at the same time, relieving tension, overseeing a very important supply of aid, protecting civilians, and creating space for political solutions.

On that occasion, Guterres said he had placed a wreath on the TNI PMPP in honor of four dead TNI members in Israeli war and Hezbollah in Lebanon.

"Their devotion and sacrifice will never be forgotten. No one should have to lose their lives in the service of peace, saying this United Nations Secretary.

The attack on the peacekeepers, the foundation, is a grave violation of international humanitarian laws and can be categorized as war crimes. These violations demand accountability.

"I will continue to call upon the state-of-the-art members to uphold their obligation to ensure the safety and safety of UN personnel at all times," the prime of the Guterres.

Gutteres visited Indonesia on Saturday. In addition to meeting forces being sent to South Africa, he met Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto and Foreign Minister Arrmanatha Nasir.
