The 29th of May marks the International Day of UN Peacekeepers. For almost 80 years, UN peace missions have made a tangible contribution worldwide to security, stability and prospects for people in conflict and crisis areas. Switzerland, together with its partners, is also committed to peace and stability. Swiss Peacekeepers have been deployed worldwide since 1953, and since 1989 also as part of UN peacekeeping missions. Every day, more than 300 women and men contribute to security and stability in regions marked by conflict and war, where peaceful coexistence is often not possible.
