Media Caption

Over the past 25 years, the POC mandate has become a cornerstone of UN peacekeeping operations, shaping how missions prevent and respond to violence against civilians. To commemorate this 25-year journey, we are sharing a collection of personal stories and reflections showcasing POC efforts on the front lines. This Profiles in Protection series traces the evolution of the POC mandate from its inception in 1999 to the present day. From field missions in conflict-affected areas to strategic decision-making at the UN Security Council, the profiles capture the breadth of contributions from those advancing the POC mandate, share their perspectives, and honour their commitment to protecting civilians and promoting peace amidst some of the world’s most challenging conflicts.
