Blue Helmets

Blue Helmets are United Nations peacekeepers—military, police, and civilian personnel from various countries—deployed to conflict zones to help maintain peace and security. They wear distinctive blue helmets or berets, symbolizing their neutrality and commitment to peace. Their roles include monitoring ceasefires, protecting civilians, assisting in the disarmament of combatants, and supporting the delivery of humanitarian aid. Blue Helmets operate under UN mandates and aim to prevent violence, rebuild trust, and create conditions for sustainable peace. They serve as a symbol of international cooperation dedicated to conflict resolution and stability.
