The United Nations has been working to resolve the ongoing civil war in Yemen and establish peace in the region. To this end, the UN is operating the 'UN Mission to Support the Hodeidah Agreement (UNMHA)'. The mission's main tasks are to implement the ceasefire agreement between the parties involved in the Yemeni civil war and provide humanitarian assistance.
UN Secretary-General António Guterres announced on the 23rd that he had appointed Japanese woman Mariko Yamashita as Deputy Head of the Mission. Guterres expressed his expectations for Ms. Yamashita, stating that she has experience and capabilities in various fields within the UN, including preventive diplomacy and peacebuilding.
Mariko Yamashita has worked at the UN since 1990, serving as Director of the UN Information Center in Tokyo and Director of the UN Interim Administration Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK) in Belgrade, Serbia. She is scheduled to take office soon and will lead efforts to resolve the Yemeni civil war situation, implement the ceasefire, and provide humanitarian assistance.
Since its establishment, the United Nations has participated in resolving numerous conflicts, working to prevent war, resolve disputes, and restore peace. Maintaining international peace and security is one of the UN's core objectives. To achieve this, the UN Security Council has been making various efforts through peacekeeping operations (PKO), including mediating peace between warring parties or deploying police to maintain order.
In the 21st century, new security threats have emerged, including traditional interstate armed conflicts, terrorism, the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, climate change, and poverty. The UN is also carrying out activities to address these challenges, such as counter-terrorism, disarmament efforts, and international cooperation for achieving the Sustainable Development Goals.
The appointment of Mariko Yamashita as Deputy Head is expected to provide a new impetus to the UN's peace efforts, which have been working for international peace and security. It is expected that she will contribute to ceasefire and humanitarian assistance in the Yemeni civil war situation based on her capabilities and experience.
