United Nations Peacekeeping helps countries navigate the difficult path from conflict to peace.

UN Peacekeeping missions are one of the international community’s most powerful tools for maintaining global peace and security. UN peacekeepers help reduce civilian deaths and violence and increase the chance of lasting peace.  

Since the first peacekeeping mission was established in 1948, over 2 million peacekeepers from 125 countries have served under the UN flag. Established and tasked by the UN Security Council, they have worked to protect populations, advance non-violent solutions to conflict, and build foundations for safe and stable societies.
