While peacekeeping requires an unequivocal level of preparedness, it also requires humanity.

In this piece, we get an authentic glimpse of the day-to-day lives & duties of Nepalese 🇳🇵 & Bangladeshi 🇧🇩 peacekeepers of @UN_CAR. #A4P

@antonioguterres

Our world has reached a heart-wrenching milestone: #COVID19 has now claimed two million lives.

Sadly, the impact of the pandemic has been made worse by the absence of global coordination.

In the memory of those two million souls, the world must act with far greater solidarity.

@UNPeacekeeping

#DidYouKnow? Peacekeepers provide medical support not only to humans, but also to animals.

Agricultural communities and farmers within conflict-prone areas rely on the livelihood of their cattle.

Healthier animals ➡️ more peace! 🐴🐂✌️ #A4P @UNIFIL_

The UN health agency, @WHO, on Thursday, underlined the need to avert a “runaway surge” of #COVID19 infections in #Africa, as cases there top three million and new variants of the virus emerge on the continent

@UNPeacekeeping

Community Violence Reduction prevents and reduces violence at the community level in ongoing armed conflict or in post-conflict environments.

It was first implemented in 2006 and remains a core component of several peacekeeping mandates. #A4P 👇
