Unarmed approaches to the Protection of Civilians (POC) form an integral part of UN peacekeeping policy and practice on POC. The UK has provided £250,000 in FY 2021/22 to the UN Department of Peace Operations in support of this methodology which should apply to all peacekeeping missions with a POC mandate: MINUSMA (Mali), MONUSCO (Democratic Republic of Congo), MINUSCA, (Central African Republic), UNMISS (South Sudan) and UNIFIL (Lebanon). We do not fund other projects on unarmed approaches in UN peacekeeping missions.
