The International Day of United Nations Peacekeepers, 29 May, offers a chance to pay tribute to the uninformed and civilians personnel’s invaluable contribution to the work of the Organization and to honour more than 3,800 peacekeepers who have lost their lives serving under the UN flag since 1948, including 98 last year. The theme for this year’s Day is “Protecting Civilians, Protecting Peace”.
