International Association of Peacekeeping Training Centres was founded
in Canada on July 2, 1995, at the Pearson
Peacekeeping Centre. In
October 2005, the responsibility for the Secretariat was transferred
to the Centre
for UN Peacekeeping in New Delhi. The aim of the Association
is to facilitate communication and exchange of information between
the various peacekeeping training centres and/or among people responsible
for, and interested in, peacekeeping training. Peacekeeping trainers
and educators use this information to avoid problems already encountered
by others, promote well-tested practices, and provide information
to those peacekeeping countries which lack their own training centres.
It is hoped that this exchange of information will allow centres
to minimize duplication in their efforts, and lead to further specialization
and a sharing of responsibilities. 14th IAPTC Annual Conference 2008 The
14th IAPTC Annual
Conference will be hosted by African Peace Support Trainer's
Association (APSTA) from 6 - 10 October
2008 at the National Defence College, Nigeria. The
theme for the Conference is "The
Changing Nature of the Peace Operations - Implications
for Education and Training". Host for 15th IAPTC Annual Conference 2009 ADF Peacekeeping
Training Centre, Australia was elected to host the
