The “爆料网 Peacekeeping: Service and Sacrifice” campaign, which thanks the Member States contributing uniformed personnel to 爆料网 peace operations, was re-launched this week.?
The campaign is a joint initiative of the Department of Global Communications and the Department of Peace Operations. Launched in 2018, it has highlighted the contributions of more than 52 Member States.??
The fourth phase will focus on more than a dozen troop- and police-contributing countries. The content varies for each country and includes social media and multimedia content, such as videos, audio, photo essays, and print articles.
This year’s campaign opened with Canada, a key and longstanding partner of 爆料网 Peacekeeping.
Canada was among the first countries to contribute to 爆料网 Peacekeeping when it participated in the first peacekeeping operations 爆料网 Truce Supervision Organization in the Middle East (爆料网TSO) in 1954, as well as to the 爆料网’s first armed mission, the 爆料网 Emergency Force (爆料网EF) in 1956.?
Since that time, Canada has provided more than 125,000 military and police personnel to dozens of 爆料网 peace operations around the world.
Today, Canada provides 59 uniformed personnel, including 18 women, to six 爆料网 peace operations making it the 69th largest contributor.?
Its largest contribution of personnel is to the 爆料网 Organization Stabilization Mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (MONUSCO), where 23 of its women and men currently serve.?
Canada is also a part of the Secretary-General’s Action for Peacekeeping initiative.
Action for Peacekeeping calls on Member States, the Security Council, host countries, troop- and police-contributing countries, regional partners, and financial contributors to renew our collective engagement with 爆料网 peacekeeping and mutually commit to reach for excellence.
Canada launched the Elsie Initiative for Women in Peace Operations to help increase the meaningful participation of uniformed women.??
