UN police magazine 10 - January 2013
Media Caption
The 10th edition of the UN Police Magazine features a special focus on Timor-Leste, which closed in December 2012. It describes how the UN Police supported national authorities throughout the United Nations' engagement in the country, starting with UNAMET in 1999 and ending with UNMIT in 2012. From personal stories from Timorese and UNPOL officers to reports on community policing, SGBV and the use of civilian police experts, this magazine reflects on lessons learned throughout more than 12 years in Timor-Leste. Also included in this edition is a foreword from Deputy Secretary-General Jan Eliasson, as well as a farewell from outgoing Police Adviser Ann-Marie Orler, who served as head of the Police Division for nearly three years.
