Where no UN peace operation is deployed, OROLSI has stepped up its support to UN country teams and Governments to help stabilize volatile situations and ultimately sustain peace and development. Addressing needs and responding to demands from Member States and UN entities, OROLSI promotes – through its wide range of flexible tools and mechanisms, niche expertise and peacekeeping experience – sustainable solutions through peacebuilding, conflict resolution and preventive measures as means to ensure long-term stability and security. It thereby complements in-country capacity with specialized expertise and provides surge capacity in specific rule of law and security areas.
