develop a more extensive and effective collaboration between regional organizations and global ones with the goal of implementing the responsibility to protect. Mexico considers that this collaboration between regional and international organizations is crucial for peacekeeping operations and stabilization missions. The mandates of the great majority of peacekeeping operations include in an explicit manner the protection of civilians. We consider that an ideal way to make the protection of civilians effective is to take advantage of the knowledge of the landscape that international organizations and regional and sub-regional alliances have, which can assist, along with the UN, in the concrete understanding of the risk factors involved in a determined country and the best strategies to neutralize these factors. Thus, a response to the crisis is not only achieved, but active work to prevent new crises is promoted. For Mexico, the key is to achieve the full articulation of all the pillars of the responsibility to protect in the first stage of a conflict, when the risk factors are identified. We consider that technical assistance and the development of national capacities in the sphere of the Rule of Law are fundamental, through legislative harmonization and the strengthening of judicial institutions.
