UNPOL

What do you know about the work of the UN Police, UNPOL?

That was my question for today, at the request of a friend. And I spent part of the day writing about UNPOL. I called it notes about …as I thought these were just some brief comments about the subject matter. But it was no chore because I do consider the Police Division of the UN and their officers deployed in the field, about 13, 000 of them, as among the best support the United Nations can offer.


But I also noticed, once again, that the politicians and the public opinion are ill informed about the role of UNPOL in peacekeeping operations. Why?
