PART ONE: READING

The United Nations peacekeeping is a unique and dynamic instrument developed by the Organization as

a way to help countries torn by conflicts to create the conditions for lasting peace. The first UN

peacekeeping mission was established in 1948, when the Security Council authorized the deployment of UN

military observers to the Middle East to observe Peace Agreement between Israel and its Arab neighbours.

Since then, there have been 63 UN peacekeeping operations around the world.

Over the year, UN peacekeeping has evolved to meet the demands of different conflicts and a changing

political landscape. Today, UN peacekeeping goals are clear and concise. They are primarily limited to

maintaining ceasefire and stabilizing situation on the ground, so that efforts could be made at the political

level to resolve the conflict by peaceful means. These missions consist of military observers lightly armed

troops in support of ceasefire and limited peace agreement.

UN peacekeeping continues to evolve to meet new challenges and political realities. The Organizaion

is working vigorously to strengthen its capacity to manage and sustain field operations, and thus, contribute

to the most important function of the United Nations-maintaining international peace and security.
