Responding to United Nations Security Council statements on security sector reform, Josie Stewart, Director of Transparency International Defence and Security, said:
There’s a lot to like about statements on security sector reform made by members of the UN Security Council last week.
Security sector reform is at least as much political as it is a technical process – governance and integrity are key.
And security sector reform is successful when it is inclusive – the participation of local communities is essential. Civil society has a key role to play in addressing corruption in defence and security.
