Peacekeepers
The United Nations Peacekeeping forces are groups of soldiers who help keep peace in
places of conflicts. Most of the time they are observers or soldiers who don’t have so many weapons.
Normally, they try to keep the enemies away from each other.

The first UN Peacekeepers were sent to the Middle East in 1948. After many weeks of war the
UN Peacekeepers were able to help make peace there.

In the 1980s and 90s UN Peacekeepers are have helped keep peace in many countries. In the
middle of the 1990s they were sent to former Yugoslavia to keep peace between the Serbs, Croats
and Muslims.

UN Peacekeepers are sent to a region only if the Security Council tells them to. They can only
help keep peace if all the other countries agree and they may use their weapons only if they are
attacked. Most of them wear a blue hat or a helmet so that you can tell if they are UN soldiers.

Since 1948 there have been 54 UN Peacekeeping operations all over the world. Over 120
countries have sent soldiers.
