INTRODUCING THE 2009 DEFENCE DESKTOP DIARY
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 2005, 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.
