Liberia’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations, His Excellency Ambassador Dee-Maxwell Saah Kemayah, SrNew York – Liberia’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations, His Excellency Ambassador Dee-Maxwell Saah Kemayah, Sr., says the Republic of Liberia is an important and notable example of what peacebuilding and sustaining peace truly reflects in practice. Addressing the First Plenary Session on “Operational and Policy, Coherence, Leadership, Accountability and Capacity Building in Supporting Peacebuilding and Sustaining Peace”, Ambassador Kemayah emphasized that it requires more than restoration of peace for a peacekeeping mission to be deemed successful. The United Nations General Assembly Informal Interactive Dialogue on Peacebuilding and Sustaining Peace, was the first of its kind, and was organized on the backdrop of the 2016 twin resolutions on the review of the peacebuilding architecture. The resolutions call on the United Nations to ensure a coherent and coordinated approach in support of countries transitioning from peacekeeping to peacebuilding. Representatives from the African Union to the United Nations, United Nations Peacebuilding Support Office and the United Nations Development Coordination Office also addressed the Dialogue.
