The United Nations doesn’t have a military, however it does have a UN peacekeeping force.
UN police and military personnel “contribute” to the Blue Flag service from greater than 100 countries to perform mandates set by the Security Council.
Military operations aim to guard the population from threats and contribute to making a secure environment. Policing plays a key role in stopping, mitigating and resolving violent conflicts and contributing to early peacebuilding and reconciliation.
Uniformed personnel are assigned and deployed under several several types of arrangements.
The goal of the UN Peacekeeping Force is to create conditions for lasting peace.
Peacekeeping is predicated on three principles: consent of the parties (countries must invite UN peacekeepers to enter; the UN cannot simply send peacekeepers anywhere), impartiality, and the non-use of force except in self-defense and to defend the mandate written within the resolution.
They come from nations large and small, wealthy and poor. They bring different cultures and experiences to their work, but what unites them is their determination to pursue peace.
From Southeast Asian countries, we list the variety of our soldiers as authors.
