The Blue Helmets

The Blue Helmets are United Nations peacekeepers, international soldiers and civilians deployed to conflict zones to maintain peace and security. Recognizable by their blue helmets and vests, they work to prevent violence, support conflict resolution, and aid in rebuilding societies. Their role is to protect civilians, monitor ceasefires, and assist in political processes, all under the authority of the United Nations. They do not replace national armies but serve as neutral forces to help maintain stability and promote peace in areas affected by conflict.
