📋 Tender Overview
For four weeks, more than 50 Peruvian and Ecuadorian police officers participated in the X United Nations International Police Course - Unpol.The Training and Training Center for Peace Operations (Cecopaz), an academic body of the Ministry of Defense, successfully culminated the tenth edition of the United Nations Police Course - a POLO aimed at officers and non -commissioned officers of the National Police of Peru and other countries.
On this occasion, 51 police officers - 49 Peruvians and 2 Ecuadorians - received training divided into two phases: introductory and application. With the instruction received, the troops will be trained to be deployed in future United Nations peace missions.
High -level comprehensive training
For four weeks of face -to -face instruction, Cecopaz issued modules on peace, human rights and humanitarian protocols, as well as practical training in simulated scenarios.
One of the most demanding phases of the course consisted of real application exercises, such as the verification of knowledge prior to deployment, visits to police stations to evaluate the efficiency in the execution of police tasks and emergency drills that included attention of victims in vehicle accidents and expertise.
In this regard, the instructor of the Cecopaz Luis Alberto Cavero Villanueva, a Peruvian second -armed supervisor technician in retirement military situation, highlighted the importance of these exercises, carried out in the application phase, in compliance with the United Nations standards for international missions.
They were basically aimed at implementing all the knowledge acquired in the classroom and highlighting the importance of within the United Nations the establishment of a mission and unrestricted respect for human rights such as the protection of life, he said.
International deployment
After the training, the troops are evaluated by the United Nations selection and evaluation team. Tests include language mastery, 4x4 vehicle driving and mediation in conflict resolution, fundamental criteria for their selection in international missions.
Currently, Peru already has a police presence in peace operations: 12 agents are deployed in different regions, with missions in South Sudan, the Central African Republic and Colombia.
The role of these troops abroad is crucial. Not only guarantee compliance with agreements in conflict areas, but also supervise and verify security in the assigned territories, contributing directly to the stability and protection of human rights in each mission.
Mission fulfilled, permanent commitment
In this way, the Cecopaz reaffirms its commitment to the formation of highly trained troops to face the challenges of peace missions. With this new group of police officers formed under the highest international standards, Peru continues to consolidate as a key actor in global efforts for safety and stability.
