United Nations peacekeeping missions involving Pakistan

UN peacekeeping missions involving Pakistan cover about 40 operations in Afghanistan and Pak-Occupied Kashmir. Pakistan joined the United Nations on 30 September 1947, regardless of Afghan opposition against Pakistan's entrance to United Nations because of the Durand Line.

Peacekeeping, as defined by the United Nations, is a way to help countries torn by conflict create conditions for sustainable peace. UN peacekeepers— usually military officers, civilian police officers and civilian personnel from many countries—monitor and observe peace processes that emerge in post-conflict situations and assist ex-combatants in implementing the peace agreements they have signed. Such assistance comes in many forms, including confidence-building measures, power-sharing arrangements, electoral support, strengthening the rule of law, and economic and social development. Pakistan has contributed mainly military, but also paramilitary and civilian police as peacekeepers as well. All operations must include the resolution of conflicts through the use of force to be considered valid under the charter of the United Nations.

Contribution: 400 Troops, Ordnance, Transport units and Staff Personnel
