Annotation
On the International Day of United Nations Peacekeepers, the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI) is releasing new data on multilateral peace operations. This topical backgrounder summarizes the main findings from the data on the year 2018 and the decade 2009-18. It also serves as a preview of the chapter on multilateral peace operations in the 50th edition of the SIPRI Yearbook, which will be published in June 2019.
On this day, SIPRI is also launching a new map of multilateral peace operations. It can be downloaded here. The map features all the multilateral peace operations that are currently active (as of 1 May 2019), as well as a number of missions and operations authorized and/or conducted by the UN and regional organizations that do not fall within the scope of the SIPRI definition of a multilateral peace operation.
Multilateral peace operations in 2018
At first sight, it might appear that 2018 was a relatively uneventful year for multilateral peace operations-at least with regard to the deployment of missions and personnel.
Fewer operations and little change in personnel deployed
First, there were fewer multilateral peace operations in 2018 than there have been in most recent years. Sixty missions and operations active globally during 2018 qualified as multilateral peace operations according to the SIPRI definition. This was three fewer than in the previous year and the lowest number of peace operations active in one year since 2013. The UN conducted 21 multilateral peace operations in 2018, various regional organizations and alliances led 33, and 6 were carried out by ad hoc coalitions of states (see figure 1). Geographically, 24 were deployed in Africa, 3 in the Americas, 5 in Asia and Oceania, 18 in Europe and 10 in the Middle East.
