Welcome...
The Australian Peacekeeper Magazine is the official journal of the Australian Peacekeeper & Peacemaker Veterans' Association Inc.The surge in UN Peacekeeping signals
that some of the world’s intractable conflicts
are coming to an end. However increased demand has placed
huge additional strains on UN resources and personnel, and
on Member States ability to provide funds, troops and equipment.
The UN has undertaken strenuous efforts to make peacekeeping
operations effective and efficient. Support capacity has
been bolstered, planning has been improved, supply and logistics
mechanisms have been reformed, and the UN has forged new
partnerships to enhance coordination.
In 2007, UN Peacekeeping operations rotated 120,000 military
and civilian police personnel, chartered 319 aircraft and
52 ships, operated 14 military hospitals and 120 clinics,
transported 580,000 passengers, moved 470,000 metric tons
of cargo, in over 90,000 flight hours. These operations carry
out many complex tasks, including assistance in elections
and constitutional reform, disarmament of excombatants, support
to government structures left weakened in the aftermath of
war, and natural disaster relief throughout affected regions.
