{{United Nations police adviser, Ann-Marie Orler, has welcomed a contingent of 15 female police officers from Rwanda.}}<\/p>\n
The Contingent is the first police unit to serve with the UN Operation in C\u00f4te d\u2019Ivoire (UNOCI) since it was established in 2004 by the Security Council to facilitate the peace process in the country.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Police Division welcomes this contingent of highly qualified female officers. The goal of the United Nations, since 2009, is to have at least 20 per cent of our police service comprising female officers by the end of 2014,\u201d Orler, told the UN News Centre on Friday.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are only half-way there globally and in C\u00f4te d\u2019Ivoire, but more deployments like this will make it possible,\u201d she added. <\/p>\n
The addition of the formed police unit brings the total number of police officers serving with UNOCI to 484, including 45 women with the arrival of the 15 Rwandan officers.<\/p>\n
\u201cI very much hope that other member states will continue to increase the number of female officers that they deploy,\u201d Ms. Orler added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
