Standing Between Conflict and Hope: Time to Equip UN Peacekeepers for Tomorrow's Challenges

As the United Nations (UN) marks its 80th anniversary, the legacy of UN peacekeeping stands as one of the clearest and most enduring expressions of multilateral cooperation. For nearly eight decades, the service and sacrifice of Blue Helmets have saved and changed lives—helping countries navigate the difficult path from war to peace. From Cyprus to Lebanon, and from the Central African Republic to South Sudan and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, more than 76,000 civilian, military, and police personnel currently serve in 11 missions around the world. These men and women offer a lifeline to millions living in some of the world's most fragile political and security environments. In light of these growing pressures, it is essential to rethink the role of peacekeeping within the broader international peace and security architecture. As President Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi has rightly asserted 'peacekeeping—while a vital tool of the international community—should not be viewed as the sole means of maintaining peace'. H.E further emphasized that 'it cannot substitute preventive diplomacy, mediation, peacebuilding, or the political, economic, and social measures necessary to address root causes and mend societal fractures', underscoring that 'peacekeeping must not become the default or immediate response to every crisis'. This year's International Day of UN Peacekeepers is observed under the theme 'The Future of Peacekeeping'—a theme that could not be more timely or relevant. Peacekeeping today faces mounting and unprecedented challenges. Conflicts are growing longer, deadlier, and more complex. They increasingly spill across borders and are exacerbated by terrorism, organized crime, cyber warfare, disinformation, and the weaponization of technology. Climate change, meanwhile, deepens instability in already-vulnerable regions. And divergent views within the UN Security Council have made consensus more elusive — slowing the pace of action, precisely when urgency is most needed. As UN Secretary-General António Guterres bluntly put it: 'Trust is in short supply among—and within—countries and regions… This is a grim diagnosis, but we must face facts.' Among the most urgent issues is the growing and persistent mismatch between what peacekeeping missions are asked to achieve and the resources that are not available to do so. This undermines effectiveness and places peacekeepers in situations 'where there is little or no peace to keep'. The Pact for the Future, adopted at the 2024 Summit of the Future, offers a moment of reckoning—and opportunity. It affirms that peace operations can only succeed when backed by political will and accompanied by inclusive strategies that address the root causes of conflict. It rightly emphasizes the need for peacekeeping missions to be supported by predictable, adequate, and sustained financing. The Pact also mandates a comprehensive review of UN peace operations—a chance to rethink and reform the peacekeeping model. Today's high-risk environments demand that missions be equipped with the right tools, partnerships, and strategies to protect civilians and support peacebuilding effectively. Egypt, through its 65 years of active participation in United Nations peacekeeping has long demonstrated a strong, sustained and unwavering commitment to the purposes and principles of the United Nations Charter. Since it first deployed troops to the UN Operation in the Congo in 1960, Egypt has contributed over 30,000 of its sons and daughters to 37 missions across 24 countries and has consistently remained one of the top contributors of uniformed personnel to UN peacekeeping. Egypt currently has 1205 peacekeepers, including women, serving across five missions in Africa Egypt's longstanding record of service and sacrifice in peacekeeping is globally recognized. This is reflected in its re-election as Rapporteur of the UN Special Committee on Peacekeeping Operations, its recent election to the UN Peacebuilding Commission, and its appointment as co-facilitator for the upcoming 2025 Peacebuilding Architecture Review in both the General Assembly and the Security Council. Egypt's leadership in peacekeeping is not limited to troop contributions. It plays an active role in shaping strategic thinking around reform. Through the Cairo International Center for Conflict Resolution, Peacekeeping and Peacebuilding (CCCPA)—an African Union Center of Excellence. Egypt has championed context-sensitive, innovative, and inclusive peace operations. The CCCPA emphasizes prevention, civilian protection, and regional partnerships while strengthening the participation of women in peacekeeping, in line with the Women, Peace and Security agenda. Through the CCCPA annual Aswan Forum, Egypt further promotes African-led solutions and stronger peacekeeping–peacebuilding synergies. This work, carried out in close cooperation with the UN in Egypt, is a prime example of effective South-South cooperation and the value of locally driven solutions. Egypt also actively contributes to training African and international uniformed peacekeepers through specialized facilities operated by the Ministry of Interior via the Egyptian Center for Peacekeeping Operations, and by the Ministry of Defense through its Liaison Agency with International Organizations (LAWIO). Egypt is also a staunch supporter of the UN Secretary-General's Action for Peacekeeping (A4P) initiative. In 2018, Egypt convened a landmark high-level international conference aimed at improving peacekeeping effectiveness. The event led to the 'Cairo Roadmap for Peacekeeping Operations,' a concrete framework of shared commitments that was later endorsed by the African Union in 2020. This year, as we remember the 4,430 peacekeepers who have given their lives in the pursuit of peace, we must go beyond commemoration by upholding the principles for which they paid the ultimate sacrifice. Over 60 Egyptian peacekeepers have sacrificed their lives while serving as part of UN operations across the globe. Their sacrifice is a sobering reminder of the growing risks peacekeepers face, and our collective duty to ensure they are provided with the necessary means to fulfill their mandates. At the recently concluded 2025 UN Peacekeeping Ministerial in Berlin this May, Egypt reaffirmed its strong commitment to advancing UN peacekeeping through planned deployments, the preparation of well-trained officers, and expanded training efforts. It pledged to provide specialized capabilities, deploy qualified personnel to UN missions, and enhance training in coordination with international partners. Egypt also highlighted the importance of integrating technology, drawing on lessons from regional transitions, and promoting gender parity—underscoring its intention to surpass the UN's targets for women's participation in uniformed roles. As the United Nations continues to face significant challenges and in the context of a region affected by multiple conflicts, Egypt has stood firm as a staunch and reliable partner to global peace and security. Furthermore, Egypt has expressed its readiness to provide all necessary support for the UN80 initiative this year in order to help make it a success to achieve effectiveness and rationalization to help meet the acute financial challenges faced by the United Nations and peacekeeping. In that regard, Egypt's readiness and preparedness to host United Nations' agencies, programs and offices that might be up for relocation as per the UN80 initiative is to be highly commended. Egypt's strategic location—at the crossroads of Africa, Asia, Europe, and the Middle East—positions it as a natural hub for connectivity and cooperation. Its central time zone and proximity to key regions make it an ideal and cost-effective location, reducing travel time and facilitating seamless coordination. With direct access to both the Red Sea and the Mediterranean through the Suez Canal – a vital artery of global trade – Egypt offers unmatched maritime connectivity. It's highly connected international airports and geographical proximity to conflict zones further enhances its relevance as a center for diplomacy, crisis response and peacekeeping efforts. Egypt's vast experience with peacekeeping and related provision of humanitarian assistance are certainly also worth highlighting as advantageous. As host to multiple international and regional organizations and offices including the seat of the League of Arab States and with over 140 represented embassies in Cairo, Egypt remains a geo-political hub with an already strong United Nations' presence, a modern infrastructure, and well-recognized levels of safety. As the Secretary-General has said: 'Now more than ever, the world needs the United Nations—and the United Nations needs peacekeeping that is fully equipped for today's realities and tomorrow's challenges.' Peacekeeping missions are under strain. However, with renewed multilateral resolve, adequate resourcing, and bold reforms, we can empower UN peacekeepers to remain a vital force for peace, stability, and hope in a troubled world, and Egypt, in cooperation with the United Nations remains at the forefront of nations providing such support. Joint Op-ed by Ambassador Khaled El Bakly, Assistant Minister for Foreign Affairs for Multilateral & International Security Affairs Elena Panova, UN Egypt Resident Coordinator

Member states pledge troops and support to UN peace keeping missions in Berlin Ministerial

India, one of the largest troop contributors to United Nations Peace Keeping (UNPK) missions, has pledged one Quick Reaction Force (QRF) Company, one male armed police (Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF)) or mixed armed police (CRPF), one Women-led Formed Police Unit, one Counter-Explosive Ordnance Disposal Unit IED/EOD Unit, one K9 Unit, and a SWAT Police Unit; ahead of the UN Peacekeeping Ministerial that concluded in Berlin on May 14. In addition to uniformed capabilities, India has also pledged peacekeeping training, capacity building, and partnerships which include 'a UN pre-deployment training of trainers course; a UN military observers course; a UN contingent commanders course, a UN female military officers course and international courses by UNCIVPOL (UN Civilian Police Component) Centre,' according to a list of commitments made by various countries put up on the UNPK website as of May 14, which are yet to be confirmed by member states. India has offered training for a long time, and has also teamed up with the U.S. to offer peacekeeping training to African countries. The two-day UNPK Ministerial 2025 in Berlin saw the participation of more than 130 member states and international partners – over a thousand participants in total, who came together to reaffirm their support for UN peacekeeping and to announce concrete pledges aimed at enhancing the effectiveness and adaptability of peace operations in the face of evolving global challenges, the Department of UNPK said in a statement. 'The Ministerial focused on the Future of Peacekeeping, reflecting the need for innovative approaches to address complex conflicts, leverage emerging technologies, and address threats such as mis- and disinformation.' Germany's contribution Germany pledged contributions worth €82 million to UN Peacekeeping. 'In addition, we will continue our support to missions and partners with training and equipment,' German Defence Minister Boris Pistorius said. 'Our goal was to focus on new and innovative pledges, ranging from renewable energy technologies to medical transport drones to the protection from improvised explosive devices. We remain committed to supporting the three UN Peacekeeping Missions that the German Armed Forces currently deploy to in South Sudan, Lebanon and Western Sahara.' In his opening remarks, UN Secretary-General António Guterres noted that in trouble spots around the world, Blue Helmets can mean the difference between life and death. 'Now more than ever, the world needs the UN. And the UN needs peacekeeping that is fully equipped for today's realities and tomorrow's challenges.' Welcoming statements of support for peacekeeping as well as their pledges of military and police capabilities from member states, the UNSG added, 'This meeting is also about something more fundamental: the future of peacekeeping itself.' Key outcomes Among the key outcomes, a total of 74 member states made pledges including pledges of military and police units. 53 member states pledged uniformed capabilities, including 88 military and police units, as well as various critical capabilities, airlift, individual experts, staff officers and individual police officers. 59 member states pledged specialized trainings on critical issues such as peacekeeping-intelligence, protection of civilians, gender and the prevention of sexual exploitation and abuse. Further, 18 member states made pledges related to technological advancements and data-driven approaches to improve mission effectiveness and 38 member states made pledges to further implement the Women, Peace and Security agenda, including gender-responsive peacekeeping and women in peacekeeping. Presently, there are over 61,000 military and police peacekeepers from 119 countries and more than seven thousand civilian personnel serve across 11 Peacekeeping Missions. As per UNPK data, India is currently the fourth largest troop contributing nation with 5375 personnel after Nepal (5951), Rwanda (5897) and Bangladesh (5677). The Berlin Ministerial is the latest in a series of high-level meetings aimed at galvanizing political support and generating tangible commitments to improve UN Peacekeeping, the statement added. It follows previous Ministerial meetings held in Accra (2023), Seoul (2021), New York (2019), Vancouver (2017) and London (2016). The 2025 Ministerial also coincides with the 80th anniversary of the United Nations and the 10-year anniversary of the Leaders' Summit on Peacekeeping.

Countries can't fill gap if US pulls UN peacekeeping funding, German foreign minister warns

Countries will not be able to fill the gap if the US withdraws its funding for the UN peacekeeping mission, Germany's foreign minister said on Wednesday. "We won't fully be able to fill the gap if the US withdraws from peacekeeping funding," Johann Wadephul said at a joint press conference at the UN Peacekeeping Ministerial in Berlin. UN secretary-general Antonio Guterres acknowledged that the Blue Helmets peacekeeping mission faced serious liquidity problems and urged states to pay contributions in full and on time. The White House budget office has proposed eliminating funding for UN peacekeeping missions, citing failures by operations in Mali, Lebanon and Democratic Republic of Congo, according to internal planning documents seen by Reuters in April. Washington is the UN's largest contributor — with China second — accounting for 22% of the $3.7bn (R67.34bn) core regular UN budget and 27% of the $5.6bn (R101.92bn) peacekeeping budget. These payments are mandatory. The future of peacekeeping is being discussed at the two-day high-level political forum, with member states pledging support to the UN operations.

UN Chief Marks 80th Anniv. with Call to Reinforce Peacekeeping Efforts

Ahmed Emam UN Secretary-General António Guterres delivered a powerful tribute to United Nations peacekeepers during the Ministerial Meeting on the Future of Peacekeeping in Berlin this week, as he called for renewed global commitment to the mission of sustaining peace in a world increasingly threatened by conflict. 'This year marks the 80th anniversary of the United Nations,' Guterres began, thanking Germany for hosting the event. 'Our organization was founded on the conviction that peace is possible if we work as one united human family. That is what our peace operations are about.' Addressing delegates from across the globe, the Secretary-General underscored the diverse and vital roles UN peace operations play — from preventive diplomacy and negotiating ceasefires to supporting elections, demining war-torn regions, and protecting civilians. But he placed special emphasis on the centerpiece of the ministerial gathering: peacekeeping. Guterres hailed UN Blue Helmets as 'the most globally recognized symbol of the world's ability to come together to help countries move from conflict to peace.' He highlighted the diversity and unity of the peacekeeping force, with personnel drawn from all corners of the world, bound by a shared commitment to stability and security. 'As we meet today, UN peacekeepers are hard at work helping to ensure that ceasefires are respected, protecting civilians caught in the line of fire, helping provide the conditions for lifesaving aid to flow to those in need, and laying the foundations for long-term recovery,' Guterres said. 'In trouble spots around the world, Blue Helmets can mean the difference between life and death.' The Secretary-General pointed to a legacy of peacekeeping success, citing nations like Cambodia, Côte d'Ivoire, El Salvador, Liberia, Namibia, Mozambique, Sierra Leone, and Timor-Leste as examples of countries that have transitioned from conflict to durable peace with UN support — many of which are now contributors to peacekeeping missions themselves. Yet, he also reminded the global community of the heavy cost of peace. 'Through the decades, 4,400 peacekeepers have fallen in the line of duty. Their service and sacrifice will never be forgotten,' he said, calling for a moment of silence in their memory. Guterres concluded his remarks by saying: 'Peace comes at a price — but it is far less than the cost of war. Let us honour those who serve and those who have fallen by strengthening our commitment to peacekeeping, and to the ideals upon which the United Nations was built.' read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid News Egypt confirms denial of airspace access to US B-52 bombers Lifestyle Pistachio and Raspberry Cheesecake Domes Recipe News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia News Australia Fines Telegram $600,000 Over Terrorism, Child Abuse Content Arts & Culture Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban's $4.7M LA Home Burglarized Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Sports Neymar Announced for Brazil's Preliminary List for 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers News Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouly Inaugurates Two Indian Companies Arts & Culture New Archaeological Discovery from 26th Dynasty Uncovered in Karnak Temple Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War
