What is the role of United Nations Peacekeepers?

United Nations Peacekeepers work around the globe to protect hundreds of thousands of vulnerable people.

The blue berets of a UN peacekeeping force are recognised around the world and their purpose is to help countries navigate the difficult path from conflict to peace.

Troops and civilian peacekeepers support ceasefires, prevent and respond to violence and investigate human rights violations.
