United Nations, January 2009 (English Video): UN peacekeeping has been developed to help countries torn by conflict create conditions for lasting peace since the first mission was established in May 1948. There have been a total of 63 UN peacekeeping operations. Currently, more than 100,000 military and civilian personnel serve in 20 UN peace operations worldwide. Over the years, UN peacekeeping has evolved to meet the demands of different conflicts and changing political landscapes. It has proved itself to be an efficient and cost-effective international instrument to restore peace in post-conflict situations. In addition to military functions, todays UN peacekeeping undertakes a wide variety of other complex tasks. Peacekeepers now are administrators and economists, police officers and legal experts, de-miners and electoral observers, human rights monitors and specialists in civil affairs, gender, governance, humanitarian workers and experts in communications and public information. UN peacekeeping continues to evolve, rising to meet new challenges and political realities.

Peacekeeping
Peacekeeping refers to activities that tend to create conditions that favor lasting peace.
Within the United Nations group of nation-state governments and organizations, there is a general understanding that at the international level, peacekeepers monitor and observe peace processes in post-conflict areas, and may assist ex-combatants in implementing peace agreement commitments that they have undertaken. Such assistance may come in many forms, including confidence-building measures, power-sharing arrangements, electoral support, strengthening the rule of law, and economic and social development. Accordingly, UN peacekeepers (often referred to as Blue Berets or Blue Helmets because of their light blue berets or helmets) can include soldiers, police officers, and civilian personnel.
The United Nations is not the only organization to implement peacekeeping missions. Non-UN peacekeeping forces include the NATO mission in Kosovo (with United Nations authorization) and the Multinational Force and Observers on the Sinai Peninsula or the ones organized by the EU like EUFOR RCA (with UN authorization). The Nonviolent Peaceforce is one NGO widely considered to have expertise in general peacemaking by non-governmental volunteers or activists.

Peacekeeping Training for Female Military Officers
Several Security Council resolutions on women, peace, and security, as well as commanders on the ground, recognize that women’s leadership and participation in peacekeeping is key to mission success. However, the number of female military personnel deployed in current peacekeeping missions are low. To address this gap, UN Women Multi-Country Office for India, Bhutan, Maldives & Sri Lanka in collaboration with the Centre for United Nations Peacekeeping (CUNPK) conduct a special training course dedicated exclusively to female military officers. The course prepares the officers to serve as peacekeepers by learning how to implement UN policies and to support mission activities related to the protection of civilians, notably women and children, not least from sexual and gender-based violence... -
USA: 272 dead in South Sudan just 'tip of the iceberg', UN peacekeeping secretary reports
UN Undersecretary General for Peacekeeping operations, Herve Lasdous, expressed concern in New York City, Wednesday, over the recent fighting in Juba, South-Sudan, which reports claim has left at least 272 dead. Addressing the Security Council meeting in Washington, Lasdous warned that number of people dead was likely to be much higher than the initial given figure, "The initial government figures report that at least 272 have been killed, including 33 civilians, but I would believe that this is only the tip of the iceberg, given alarming reports indicating that over the last few days many civilians were barred from reaching safer grounds, including the compounds of the United Nations."

The remains of Li Lei and Yang Shupeng, who were killed during the fighting between two army factions in South Sudan, arrived at Xinzheng Airport earlier.
A Chinese Air Force transporter plane carried the remains to the city, where Li and Yang left for South Sudan for the UN peacekeeping mission in December 2015.
The plane took off Tuesday from the Entebee International Airport of Uganda.
The 22-year-old Corporal Li Lei and 33-year-old Master Sergeant Yang Shupeng were killed after a mortar shell hit their armored vehicle during the fighting between the government and anti-government forces in Juba, capital of South Sudan on July 10. Five other Chinese peacekeepers were wounded in the same incident.
About 600 officers, troops, civilian officials and the victims' families and relatives were present at the airport to welcome the home-coming peacekeepers.
"Here on behalf of the Military Commission and the officers and men of the entire army, I extend my deep condolences to the martyrs, and sincere solicitude to the family members of the martyrs and the wounded comrades-in-arms," said Yi Xiaoguang, deputy chief of the Joint Staff Department of the Central Military Commission.
The remains of Li and Yang will be sent to Xuchang City, where their army units are stationed. A memorial service will be held there Thursday.

Riek Machar, President of South Sudan responded, pleading for the UN’s cooperation, "The transitional government is the only viable mechanism to fully implement the agreement. We call on you to collaboratively work with the transitional government national unity, on how best we can together deliver peace and security to my people."
The warning comes after a two-day ceasefire in Juba following the fighting on Friday, Sunday and Monday. At least 42,000 people have fled their homes and are now living in UN bases, aid groups and churches.

A showdown is looming between Burundi and African Union (AU) leaders. The AU is giving Burundi until Tuesday to agree to accept a 5,000-strong peacekeeping force - or it will send the soldiers anyway. Burundian government leaders are warning they would not accept foreign soldiers. Its the first time the African Union is invoking its rule to send peacekeeping troops to protect civilians - with the consent of the country. The controversy and crisis is over the re-election of President Pierre Nkurunziza for a third term. An estimated 220,000 people have fled the country in the past eight months. At least 400 people have also been reportedly killed, and extrajudicial killings and torture are being regularly reported. But would African Union forces be able to stop the bloodshed? Pr... -

A showdown is looming between Burundi and African Union (AU) leaders.
The AU is giving Burundi until Tuesday to agree to accept a 5,000-strong peacekeeping force - or it will send the soldiers anyway.
Burundian government leaders are warning they would not accept foreign soldiers.
Its the first time the African Union is invoking its rule to send peacekeeping troops to protect civilians - with the consent of the country.
The controversy and crisis is over the re-election of President Pierre Nkurunziza for a third term.
An estimated 220,000 people have fled the country in the past eight months.
At least 400 people have also been reportedly killed, and extrajudicial killings and torture are being regularly reported.
But would African Union forces be able to stop the bloodshed?
Presenter: Nick Clark
Guests:
Jean-Claude Karerwa - Deputy Spokesman for President Nkurunziza
Devon Curtis - Lecturer in the Department of Politics and International Studies at the University of Cambridge
David Zounmenou - Senior Researcher for West Africa in the Africa Conflict Prevention Programme at the Institute for Security Studies.
