Pakistan Army’s role in world peace.​

PAKISTAN Army, which unfortunately has become target of some vested interests for the past few months, is in fact playing an unparalleled role not only for ensuring peace in the country and the region but also in the world. To highlight the services of Pakistan army to international peace the Prime Minister inaugurated a photo exhibition “A journey through Pakistan’s 50 years of International Peacekeeping” in Islamabad on Thursday and said Pakistan is dedicated to principles of peace and humanity and pledges to act with renewed vigour to usher in an era of security and prosperity for the humanity.

UN peacekeeping missions involving Pakistan covers a long and cherished history of its involvement with the United Nations. Since 1960, Pakistan has been actively involved in most of the UN Peacekeeping missions and today stands at the top with 10,175 troops and observers serving in current missions. Some of the major contributions were in Somalia, Sierra Leone, Bosnia, Congo and Liberia where our troops not only helped in restoration of peace but also extended humanitarian assistance including medical assistance to the needy. UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon has recognised the great sacrifices rendered by Pakistani peacekeepers. Tragically, 122 Pakistani military, police and civilian personnel lost their lives while proudly serving the United Nations. Similarly coming back to the present situation in the region, Pakistan army sacrifices are unmatched since 9/11 as over five thousand officers and jawans gave their lives in the war on terror which must be given due recognition by the international community. The army had been the first to come to the assistance of the nation in natural calamities and other occasions to protect the countrymen but some quarters in Pakistan are inadvertently targeting it which is extremely sad. In our view the army in the present situation needs backing of all segments of the society to meet challenges on different fronts including dealing the menace of terrorism.

UN peacekeeping missions involving Pakistan covers a long and cherished history of Pakistani involvement with the United Nations. Pakistan joined the United Nations on 30 September, 1947. Since 1960, Pakistan has been actively involved in most of the UN Peacekeeping missions and today stands at the top with 10,175 troops and observers serving in current missions. Some of the major contributions were in Somalia, Sierra Leone, Bosnia, Congo and Liberia.

Peacekeeping, as defined by the United Nations, is a way to help countries torn by conflict create conditions for sustainable peace. UN peacekeepers—soldiers and military officers, civilian police officers and civilian personnel from many countries—monitor and observe peace processes that emerge in post-conflict situations and assist ex-combatants in implementing the peace agreements they have signed. Such assistance comes in many forms, including confidence-building measures, power-sharing arrangements, electoral support, strengthening the rule of law, and economic and social development. All operations must include the resolution of conflicts through the use of force to be considered valid under the charter of the United Nations.
