Un peacekeeping: the first steps
Traditionally, UN peacekeeping meant the deployment of military personnel. The blue berets were normally deployed in international conflicts after a truce was signed.
From 1948 to 1989 there were two main types of UN mission:
Observer misions with unarmed military observers. For example, the military observers deployed in 1988 to monitor the ceasefire between Iran and Iraq.
Peacekeeping forces deployed in an area of separation or buffer zone. For example, the UN soldiers deployed in 1974 after Israeli and Syrian forces stopped fighting.
Peacekeeping today
In the 1990s this idea of UN peacekeeping changed. Today’s peacekeepers often deploy to stop civil wars and missions are more complex and have more objectives. For example, UN troops disarm and demobilize soldiers, help refugees return to their homes and clear mines.
In today’s peacekeeping missions there are many more civilian peacekeepers, including police officers, engineers, medical personnel and drivers. These civilians build roads, schools and hospitals, and they supervise elections. An example of this kind of mission was the UN mission to Cambodia 1992-1993.
