The United Nations defines peacekeeping as "the deployment of international military and civilian personnel to a conflict area with the consent of the parties to the conflict in order to: stop or contain hostilities or supervise the carrying out of a peace agreement."While this definition serves as a useful reference point, no single definition of peacekeeping exists. Peacekeeping continues to evolve as new conflicts arise and demands to resolve them are increasingly placed on the UN.
Peacekeeping is a demanding enterprise that requires the basic skills of a capable combat soldier and much more. Peacekeepers must be effective negotiators, be capable of standing firm in the face of hostile forces, and be prepared to endure privation. Since 1956, the number and scope of peacekeeping operations have increased exponentially. Over 750,000 military troops and civilian police from around the world, in addition to thousands of other civilians, have served as peacekeepers. There have been a total of 42 peacekeeping missions since the United Nation's inception, including 16 that are currently operational.
Canada has always been a strong supporter of the United Nations and of peacekeeping, and has participated in almost every mission since its inception. The Canadian Armed Forces are recognized worldwide as being among the finest peacekeepers.

What are the types of peace keeping?
There are generally three main types of peacekeeping operations: traditional peacekeeping, multidimensional peacekeeping, and peace enforcement. Traditional peacekeeping involves monitoring ceasefires and maintaining buffer zones, typically with consent from conflicting parties. Multidimensional peacekeeping includes a broader mandate, addressing political, humanitarian, and developmental aspects to stabilize post-conflict societies. Peace enforcement, on the other hand, involves the use of military force to maintain or restore peace, often without the consent of the parties involved.
