Delivering Amidst Deficit: Why Pakistan Warns the Council is Failing its Own Success Story" ! #UNSC #UnitedNations

MINUSCA is a success story of this Council - in fulfilling its responsibility for international peace and security, yet it faces serious constraints. The Secretary-General’s report is clear: the Mission is delivering, but the severe liquidity crisis is undermining its effectiveness. As of 2 February, unpaid assessed contributions stood at 733 million dollars and only about 58 per cent of the approved budget had been received. Contingency planning cuts led to the withdrawal of 2,937 uniformed personnel between 16 October and 1 February - a critical time for Central African Republic.

These cuts are not abstract figures; they mean reduced electoral security, weaker protection of civilians and diminished capacity to respond to threats to safety and security of peacekeepers.
