Did you know?

  • By 2030, the number of persons 15-24 years of age is projected to grow to nearly 1.3 billion.
  • Around 87 per cent of youth live in developing countries, and 30 per cent live in fragile and conflict-affected countries.
  • Young people are key agents of change in building just and peaceful societies.

"The road to a lasting peace:

 Leveraging the power of youth for peace and security."

What Peacekeeping Does?

UN Peacekeeping helps countries navigate the difficult path from conflict to peace.

We have unique strengths, including legitimacy, burden sharing, and an ability to deploy troops and police from around the world, integrating them with civilian peacekeepers to address a range of mandates set by the UN Security Council and General Assembly.
