Abstract

Maintaining peace is intricate, with Blue Helmets symbolizing hope for millions. They play a pivotal role in peacekeeping, raising questions about its ease. Effective partnerships with international and local actors require dedication and preparedness. UN Peacekeepers must execute their mandate professionally, protecting themselves and upholding UN rules. This study explores the significance of deploying peacekeepers and the establishment process of the UN Peacekeeping Training Department. Analyzing peacekeeping policies like the Brahimi Report 2000, Capstone Doctrine 2008, and others delves into the complexity of deployment. Case studies of Pakistan’s Centre for International Peace and Stability and Peacekeeping Training Department provide insights, supplemented by UN reports and discussions with peacekeeping staff.
