What We Do

For over 70 years, UN peacekeepers have demonstrably improved the lives of millions, fostering conditions for peace. However, their success hinges on viable political processes. Peacekeeping supports, not replaces, national efforts.

Political will and cooperation from conflicting parties and host states are crucial. Peacekeepers cannot create peace alone. The Security Council plays a vital role in securing commitment and providing clear mandates.

Beyond protecting civilians, peacekeepers actively prevent conflict, reduce violence, and empower local authorities. This demands a unified security and peacebuilding strategy aligned with the political agenda. UN peacekeeping strengthens conflict resilience, addressing root causes for long-term stability.

Strong partnerships between the UN, Security Council, and troop-contributing nations facilitated the successful completion of 55 missions. Continued evolution is vital, aiming for agility and adaptation in volatile environments. Embracing technology and innovation remains a key commitment.
