Since the primary mission in 1948, over 1,000,000 ladies and men have served in UN peacekeeping operations, serving to folks recover, rebuild, and stay safe when periods of conflict.
There are presently twelve UN peacekeeping operations round the world and nearly 90,000 personnel serving the reason for peace, reconciliation, and sturdy political solutions.
Unfortunately, UN peacekeepers too typically sacrifice their lives for the cause of peace, and nowadays we have a tendency to pause to specific our deep feeling to the over 4,000 peacekeepers who have died throughout their service over the past seven decades, a hundred thirty five of them last year alone.
