ABSTRACT

The deployment of a new United Nations Peacekeeping Operation is a decision taken by the Security Council. This article introduces the subject matter, gives brief history of the United Nations peacekeeping, analyses the peacekeeping operations of the United Nations and deployment, the basic principles of the United Nations peacekeeping and concludes that despite the role of the United Nations, the peacekeeping operations are still ongoing in some crisis ridden states of the World and peacekeepers are still being deployed.
