Ireland has a proud track record on peacekeeping. Since 1958, not a single day has passed that Ireland hasn\u2019t had peacekeepers on active duty. We also have a deep understanding of what it takes to successfully negotiate and implement a peace process. We must use this experience and understanding to be a vocal advocate for peacebuilding and peacekeeping in other parts of the world.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>\u2018As a neutral country, we can act as the conscience of the UN Security Council \u2013 speaking truth to power, calling out unlawful acts and acting as a force for good. The positions taken must reflect the values of the Irish people. We must speak up in defence of human rights; this includes vocalising our support for LGBTI+ rights, gender equality and the rights of ethnic minority groups.
