KAIPTC urges UN military observer trainers to uphold peacekeeping standards

Deputy Commandant of the Kofi Annan International Peacekeeping Training Centre (KAIPTC), Brigadier General Lawrence Deku The Deputy Commandant of the Kofi Annan International Peacekeeping Training Centre (KAIPTC), Brigadier General Lawrence Deku, has urged participants of the 2026 United Nations Military Observers Training of Trainers (UNMO ToT) Course to become ambassadors of United Nations training standards and ensure that the knowledge acquired is transferred to future peacekeepers.

According to Brigadier General Deku, the two-week programme achieved its objective of strengthening participants’ capacity to deliver the United Nations Military Observers Specialised Training Materials (UNMO STM) 2025 in accordance with UN standards.

Brigadier General Deku's call for participants to transfer their knowledge to national training institutions therefore extends beyond technical military preparation to the broader objective of building a more professional and inclusive peacekeeping community.
