UN Peacekeeping Ministerial

Peacekeeping Ministerial meetings bring UN Member States together to ensure peacekeeping missions are equipped to succeed.

Since 1948, more than two million peacekeepers have served in 71 missions around the world, working to prevent violence, protect civilians, and create conditions for lasting peace. Behind each of these peacekeepers are the UN Security Council and UN Member States: Security Council members establish missions and set their objectives, while Member States provide the resources to deliver on those goals. Every Member State contributes financially to peacekeeping, with many also providing additional, voluntary contributions.
