Pakistan has called for keeping the UN Peace building Commission financially viable so as to enable the 31-member intergovernmental body meet the reconstruction and other needs of the countries emerging from conflict.
“The peace building architecture plays a critical role in the peace continuum,” Pakistani delegate Ansar Shah told a meeting on the commission’s 2025 Review of the Peace building Architecture.
“Through marshalling resources, advising on integrated strategies for post-conflict peace building and recovery, focusing attention on reconstruction and institution-building, laying the foundation for sustainable development, helping develop best practices, and ensuring
predictable financing, it makes a real difference on ground,” Shah, a
first secretary at the Pakistan Mission to the UN, said.
“As one of the largest troop contributors to the UN peacekeeping operations, and a member of the PBC for a long time,” he said, “Pakistan fully appreciates the importance of peace building and sustaining peace.”
