The Special Committee on Peacekeeping Operations of the United Nations, or C34, is a committee of the United Nations General Assembly. It focuses issues relating to peacekeeping.[1]
History
The Special Committee was created on 18 February 1965 by Resolution 2006 (XIX).[2] It was mandated to conduct a comprehensive review of all issues relating to United Nations peacekeeping.
Each year the General Assembly extends in mandate and calls for it to consider any new proposals that work to enhance the capacity of the United Nations to fulfill its responsibilities in the field of peacekeeping.[3][4]
Working methods
The Committee typically holds a substantive session in New York beginning in February and ending in March. At this session it reviews progress on its previous proposals, as well as consider new efforts to increase the capacity of the United Nations' peacekeeping operations. At the end of the session the Committee provides policy recommendations through its Report of the Special Committee on Peacekeeping Operations.[5]
The Committee reports to the General Assembly on its work through the Fourth Committee (Special Political and Decolonization).[6][7]
