Have you ever heard of the United Nations peacekeeping missions, the Blue Helmets, do you know exactly what they do, what they are used for, who makes up these international forces, how they work? Well, in this video we answer all these questions.
And take note, because on 7 and 8 December 2021, the 2021 Seoul United Nations Peacekeeping Ministerial will be hosted by South Korea, an important meeting for the future of this institution.

Fun fact the budget of all UN peace operations is around 7 Billion, which is only 1 Billion more than the budget of the New York Police Department or around 1% of US military spending.
There isn't one way of doing peacekeeping. The first generation missions, mainly in the middle east, were dealing with well disciplined armies that answered to their respective governments. In this role the peacekeepers acted a bit like referees. An impartial third party that made sure everyone played by the rules of peace treaties that had been agreed to by their governments.
The second generation of peacekeeping came in Rwanda and and the Former Yugoslavia. In this case governments were using political militias that they encouraged and protected but couldn't really control. The referee model just didn't work in that situation as there were no treaties and there were no well disciplined armies, just roving bands of thugs that had to be dealt with in the manner of riot control and counter insurgency. It was a major shift in the mind set and a lot of senior diplomats and officers didn't make the shift fast enough. A lot of soldiers and the people they were trying to protect died before the rules of engagement were upgraded.
It's always important to understand what you're sending peacekeeper into deal with and react to new situations quickly. You can't insist peacekeepers have to follow the classic model.
* grabs popcorn *
aight lets buckle up and read the comments
By running away when genocide happens.
Short answer: They don't.
The success of the UN peacekeeper forces is widely exaggerated. They barely even stop drag traffics, yet alone terror and other hostile militant forces in Lebanon, Syria, Congo and many other places. And yes it is part of their duty. In fact, they don't even try because non of the soldiers or their operative countries wants to put them at risk and high involvement with the crisis.
The expectations people have for the UN are exaggerated. How can 190+ countries come to a common agreement considering the amount of geopolitical interests and historic divides playing out in some Conflicts. The UN should be seen as only one of many factors contributing to Peace. Not the main one.
@@MemoTea I agree. But some people *wish* the UN to be more than that, so they treat it as such.
Multinational peace missions predate Caeser.
After WW1 many countries had troops stationed around East Europe and Russia. UN in 40s was nothing new.
As always tho, great vid. You guys rock
I've been curious about the process. Thanks. It was informative and thorough.
The un peacekeepers are often put in a environment where there is no peace to be kept and even when they try to keep the peace there hands are tied by bureaucracy
…UN…Useless Nuthead 🤕
They literally rape women in these countries. So, their hands ain’t tied enough
not beurocracy but common sense. They can take in refugees but they cannot interfere in conflict in general. That would make them partisan.
@@PP-vf1kx If they did anything more they wouldn't be the UN anymore. But more like a politically biased or even mercenary force.
Then something else is gonna spring up with the former values the UN had and you'd be bitching about them too.
If Russia and India went to war with each other, who is the UN gonna support? Both countries are represented by the UN. War always has it's valid geopolitical reason generally. Be it resource, territory, culture etc. They're all valid reasons.
@@carlosandleon then by definition they aren't "keeping" jack squat. Imagine a zookeeper that can't interfere in the animal's lives. Yeah, peacekeepers are partisan to peace, so they need to quash any violent outbursts, or else you're just enabling them.
If you ever feel useless just remember:
The peace keeping force is tasked with upholding a UN resolution to keep hezbollah away from southern Lebanon.
If you go to southern Lebanon you can find uniformed hezbollah fighters inside UN bases hanging out and using the base as they please.
Wealthy countries pay low income countries for troups instead of their own personals and those hired personals have contact on both sides. Those hired don't even have proper world knowledge and it mislead in many ways.
There's plenty of statistical and case studies of how the UN peacekeepers do help, they just have bizzare accountability rules and are constantly handtied from doing more
Which is *good,* since we don't want UN Peacekeepers to do more than their basic responsibility. They are *NOT* there to rebuild, they are there to keep the peace.
I don't want my govt to spend my tax money to rebuild other country, or sacrifice my fellow countrymen to fight a random conflict on the other side of the globe.
IMO UN Peacekeepers should not take side, or mediate, or rebuild, or do anything other than to act as some kind of "border guard" enforcing ceasefire and peace agreement.
The UN is also not a mercenary force. They cannot afford to take sides in conflict.
@ssGoblin well, they were in small numbers and not very motiveted to die , if France (in case of Ruanda) stop to sell weapons to any Crazy insurgent the peacekeepers could have stopped them whit ease
That's the neat part, they don't.
Yeah, they were really helpful during the Rwandan Genocide and I'm pretty sure many of them have been accused of rape and other abuses of power.
Fun fact, Rwanda provides the 4th highest amount of peacekeeping personnel.
@@juch3 and they did dick..
Bangladesh provide the highest number of military personals 🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩😊😊(love form Bangladesh)
we respect every one of your soldiers!
Why Bangladesh provides so many?
@@dsolis7532 they have no international conflicts. Sometimes border stuff with India. But diplomacy solves that. So UN peacekeeping is the best way to train and keep their personel up to scratch.
You guys also provide disease 🦠also. Ya did a numbers in Haiti 🇭🇹
And Pakistan
As a former soldier in the israeli defence forces I can tell that the UN peace forces dont manage to achieve alot when it comes to demilitirize the region(in both sides) we and hezbollah see them as a joke
EVERYONE sees them as a joke.
Might as well say "as an Israeli citizen" aren't you all conscripted? Except for like Rabbis?
@@dexorne9753made me laugh 😂 it was too on the nose but out of 10 million citizens currently only 500k are conscripted including the reserves in these intense war times so I guess not all Israeli civilians are military 😂
I see the IDF as a joke too.
IDF are nothing but armed thugs. No better than murderous gangsters.

Thanks for the info. There’s surprisingly little coverage of this on youtube
Thanks. Great to see the UN getting coverage like this. But I think it might have been good to emphasise the different generations of peacekeeping. Originally it was designed to keep the peace in conflicts that the superpowers wanted to keep out of the grasp of the other. It was essentially designed to cordon them off from the Cold War. These were usually military oriented. But after the end of the Cold War the aims became more ambitious, including state building. The missions became vastly more complex, including administration, electoral observance, etc.
UN-Involved
UN-potent
Blue helmets are a joke.
Well the Filipino peacekeepers disobeyed an Indian general in the Golan Heights by not surrendering back in 2014.
Shhhh!
It is surprising that any mention of india was skipped considering the huge contributions made by them. In the footage I can see Indians and insas rifles but no mention of them
It's totally a west thing 😂😂😂 we know about INDIAs role 👍 👑 so fuck this report
@@youtubeconsumer22 I am not saying he hates India Or Indians , I am saying it's totally a west thing to not appreciate India for its achievement and it's roll in world. Because west media never gives fuck about India until it's a rape news or any bad news 😒😒😒
Great job as always
Love this channel I’ve learned so much.
I see a lot of Mongolian peace keepers
You forgot to add #sponsored in this video
11:50 list on the right, second to the bottom, is that Vietnam or Morocco?
Thankyou India for contributing the most to peacekeepers force. Proud.
And now I know. Thanks!
Whatever happened to the white helmets that were active in Syria?
The fact that anything like The Blue Helmets exist at all is a testament to the thousands of good people who have tirelessly worked for diplomacy, often against all odds.
How do they work?
They don't
Will there be a video how the DR Congo got what it got today?
I did a UN Tour in Cyprus back in the day (Best piss up ever lol....)
Main issue is that peace keepers are actually war fighters, just want to say that an effective military is made of of people who’s job is to destroy enemy combatants. If the world wants peace keepers higher and train peacekeepers but what I have seen as an American is solders being used as a multitool with no clear objectives and with there hands tied by politicians. All I wanted to say was let out solders be solders and let’s find train people as peacekeepers if needed you can’t have one person be both and not expect issues.
For their peacekeeping tools I believe the UN is useful this is useful although I wish They would take a more active role in Deposing dictators who weren't elected into government but instead took it by force or by cheating.
As for how effective they are when it comes to the bigger countries I still think they have no power when it comes to stopping conflict or making sure power is equally shared.
Did you use the Vietnamese flag for Morocco ?
that graphic at 3:50, "Republic of Central America"... which one is that?
Should be Central African Republic
01:48 "The international mission was a success"
Say it with me: Pffhhhhhaaaaaahahahahaha
Is this serious? Who wrote the script? The ineptitude of this very peace-keeping force led directly to the Six-Day War, because the moment Nasser told them to get out, they just packed up and left. It was a shameful failure, and one that set the state for almost every other UN intervention that ended in failure. For example, doing nothing during the Rwandan genocide, participating in atrocities in South Sudan (allegedly), or transmitting cholera in the aftermath of the earthquake in Haiti. In many cases, the UN peacekeepers are not merely useless, they are harmful.
Their Mi 24 hind is beast.
My dad was part of Indian contingent to unmiss in South Sudan
I thought the Security Council initiates peace keeping missions. Not 154 members of the Assembly

Since the video didn't mentioned it...
The last time blue helmet did their job Tutsi people went brrrrr
Nice shirt bro
What is the difference of catholic priest and UN peacekeeper? Peacekeeper carries a gun.
Blue helmets are the Jedi of soldiers! -
sort of. -
Interesting more information revealed about UN peace keepers...
Short answer: They don't
Short answer: they don’t.
They Shooting with Badasses
They don’t. There I answered it for you
UN peacekeeper works... And having more people on the ground that look like them, speak their language n understand their culture is indeed better.
But i agree with lots of other comment, the regulation n politics is often way too restrictive.. making forces installed there, unable to works as optimal..
In many places in africa, the local gangk n warlord, wont respect you if you seems to be highly hesitant to use forces.
Step 1: *Make Tesla Coils. Make them very big.*
Would much prefer the locals be the ones helping sort things out since they are more likely to have a better idea of the culture and needs of the people then someone that has been parachuted in. Which is currently one of the massive issues my country is having with vaccine rollouts particularly when it comes to those of different race with bad history with the government, the local medical staff are calling out for funding and support to hire more of their own people so they have more personal who can go door to door and sit down and talk people through their concerns and fears about the vaccine, which they’ve found a really good way to encourage people or even entire families to get jabbed, but instead they get sent fast response teams who think they can just set up a tent and do a mass vaccination. Teams that the local people do not know or trust and just do not want to engage with.
I’d assume the UN would have to think about such things when it comes to personal hence why they have the methods they do.
How often are they actually engaged in combat? I’m sure it does happen
Black hawk down comes to mind
@@juch3 Were they blue helmets?
@@sjakierulez the US forces were in Somalia in support of the UN mission there, but they were under a separate chain of command. They were safed in the end by Pakistani blue Helmets though.
@@juch3 that was not the UN, so no.
United Nations mission is in AMERICA not in the Volta region in HO, GHANA.
Tribes will always break off and develope its own personality
Where are these blue helmets? Why arent they in palestine ? Yemen? Syria? Afghanistan?…
Blue helmets can only opperate in a region if all participants in a conflict, may it be two countries or the various parties of a civil war, agree to it. So with the Middle East you can imagine how difficult it is that every participant of any conflict there would agree to something like that.
@@MTTT1234 Thanks!
I think China generally provide personal around 9th or 10th place in recent years, why this program choosing list that China fall off the list?
The Moroccan flag is a green star on a red background, not a yellow one.
peacekeepers like in the hunger games. UN is Panem.
They want a "peace" of the pie
His heard of the purple helmet…
12th to comment and 726 viewer came 15 minutes after upload
11:45 the statistics shows the funding promised rather than funding provided.. In 2020 Many countries had not fullfilled the promised funding or were behind schedule.. on the other hand the countries providing troops were basically sending personal from their own expense when it was supposed to be provided from the UN (Only the equipment and supplies were provided, salary and transportation cost were promised but were either not provided or given very late)
Also accusations of the countries providing just funding of using those funds for personal gains was put up in 2020 itself..
The blue helmets always fail to stop wars and maintain the peace agreements
Just like UN
Fun fact, that is statistically not true but of course, you hear more often about the failures because that is more interesting.
@@Nico-od4yvname one time UN
has managed to stop a war
if only they were as useful as you made them out to be.
It’ is not the flag of morocco in 11:54 but 🇲🇦

Lmao typical nationalist
Let me see one. I’ll show you.
Peacekeeping is not a bad thing, it’s the people in governments in charge of them and making their rules that is, and many peacekeepers have been accused of sexual abuse crimes and there’s must be a change to the system to hold them accountable.
I think they are the soldiers from the other countries
They don't

Plot twist: It doesn't.
No mention of India 🙂 when India contributes the most number of troops and tools
Yes, and in many times yours countryman work toghether with my from Uruguay.Like in the Congo.
Salaam bro help the sultanate of sulu.
You should mention the useless of this army too, like whenever they had a border security mission, they just leave before the war. You just promoted it, this video is not educational
First of all, it is not an army. They are troops that remain part of their national armies and is only borrowed to the UN mission for a limited time. Second of all UN peace operations are normally deployed with the consent of their host state, if the host state withdraws consent, they leave. UN forces can provide a buffer, they can reduce tensions and mediate disputes but if two countries really want to start a war, the blue helmets are not going to fight them. Because what would the purpose of that be? instead of two countries fighting each other you would have two countries fighting blue helmets, which is not more peaceful.
Who else thinks their country's government ought to stop funding the UN??
Up until now I didn't know that blue helmets exists. This video cleared that up
good, but what if the blue helmets are facing tier one big armies? hypothetically say, if there is a un resolutions to put the blue helmets in ukraine, don't you think it will still work? very unlikely. and it had happened before, un soldiers station in east europe had face critics to let genocide happened in front of them. it is not a ultimate solution. they are borrowed soldiers, when shtf, not everyone will hold their stand. this method can only suppress low level conflicts while both side only have small arms. and don't forget there is a deadly weak point there, they are ordered not to fire or any aggressive movements, basically cannon fodders. it is not a news those convoys being attack and soldiers get killed. not because they can't fight, but un officials pull their legs. and the nature of these mission is policing, which, they are soldiers, not cops, they don't do crime investigation. most of them don't even speak the language they are ordered to station. you can expect low efficiency for sure. if you want the blue helmets to be efficient, there should be a branch of attachment in battalion size of cops to execute laws in international standard, not local standards. but that sounds impossible.
I'm really disappointed in objectivity of this movie... Only successful missions has been mention but not any that was a fiasco like in Yugoslavia
Instability and peace by the instruments of warmongers + supercriminals😇
Talk about the somali army
Troll the blue helms
The UN may be almost useless in a pragmatic sense, but they represent something invaluable for humanity and for the values we hold dear as species.
"Hide yo kids, hide yo wife cuz they r@p¡n everyone out here."
I've got an answer - they don't
Blue helmeted thugs They make nice targets though
By meddling where they don’t belong. Big government control.

Well let's say the list is mostly africa
They don't work !
К сожалению ООН не выполняет свои обязанности по сохранении мира на планете. И возникают следующие вопросы.
1. Почему?
2. Кто виноват?
3. Что нужно делать?
Skip!
How they work?!? They sexually abused children little boys and girls who starved for some fxxxxxx food an water shame on you that you don't punish them the hardest while knowing they’re names. Shame on all of you you are part of the Problem how is it possible to not run after it until there is justice for those who were abused???? These kids will never forget what happened to them by „peacekeepers“. These children will suffer for the rest of they’re life’s.
Where ready in the us
They don t….
