Peacekeeping is, first and foremost, a partnership. Our collective success depends on every partner playing their role with unwavering commitment. This includes the Security Council, troop and police contributors, regional organizations, host governments and financial contributors who together allow the more than 100,000 UN peacekeepers deployed around the world help protect more than 100 million lives. To do so, our peacekeepers need access to the best technologies, services and support available.
We’re often ‘building bridges’ for peace in the communities we serve, but sometimes we build actual bridges too. Here Brazilian members of our peacekeeping mission in Haiti, MINUSTAH, help assemble a bridge to improve access to a village north of Port-au-Prince. #working4peace
