NEW YORK: -- Prime Minister Prayut Chanocha Tuesday joined leaders from more than 50 countries for a summit on United Nations peacekeeping operations to pledge new commitments to save people in conflicts around the world.

Prayut told the summit that Thailand was ready to dispatch military staff officers, development units and engineers upon a UN request to join peacekeeping operations.

Since 1946 when it became a UN member, Thailand has sent more than 20,000 police and military personnel to join peacekeeping operations under the UN flag in many wartorn places of the world including Korea, Timor Leste and South Sudan, he said.

The nature of conflicts in the world has changed over time, and there should be a comprehensive review of peacekeeping operations, he said.

"Conflict prevention, peacekeeping, peacebuilding and development are connected together as fundamentals of lasting peace," Prayut said.

No general they dont acknowledge section 44 on peace keeping missions so you wont be much help. They are also to bring peace not disrupt it which is ever so slightly outside your level of knowledge.

You are such a funny little fellow when on a junket representing the elite and military cohorts.

"Prayut told the summit that Thailand was ready to dispatch military staff officers, development units and engineers upon a UN request to join peacekeeping operations."

Maybe that's the solution to the conflict in South Thailand. Ask the UN to take control of peacekeeping operations.

Oh yes, a slack handful of Thai staff officers (all generals I expect). That will come in jolly handy on a UN peacekeeping mission!

You can just send some slaves and put them in a uniform ....
