Thank UN Peacekeepers For Their Work

For 62 years, men and women have traversed the world to help people and nations in need as United Nations Peacekeepers.

It isn't easy work. Peacekeepers go to desperately poor and often unstable countries. They help rebuild communities and nations wracked by natural disasters or violence. They remove mines from war zones, bring warring parties to the negotiating table and ensure elections are free and fair.

The work of UN peacekeepers has changed the lives of millions of people and continues to bring peace and security to the world, often at great personal risk. More than 100 peacekeepers died in the Haiti earthquake alone.

Take a moment and thank these heroic men and women who have given their lives to the pursuit of peace.

Dear UN Peacekeepers,

We may be far from the 17 regions around the world where you work, but our thoughts and thanks are with you. From as far as East Timor, as close as Haiti, and spread throughout 8 countries in Africa, the work you have done over the past 62 years has benefited the entire world, creating a more peaceful, stable, and secure place for people to live.

The work of UN peacekeepers to bring peace and security to the world and has produced extraordinary outcomes for millions of people.

Your work as peacekeepers is complicated and diverse: rebuilding societies wracked by violence and natural disasters; ensuring peaceful, fair elections; and maintaining law and order in some of the most volatile situations on Earth. You face the daunting tasks of convincing armed groups to lay down their weapons and restoring the lives of thousands of children forced to become soldiers during war.

You create the conditions to bring warring parties to the negotiating table -- resulting in numerous ceasefires, peace accords, and power-sharing agreements since 1945. You remove hundreds of thousands of mines from war zones all over the world, allowing communities to return home and rebuild their lives.

We all have a vital stake in the work that you do. Individual governments simply cannot afford to -- nor would be advised to -- send their own troops to all of the places where you are deployed.

This past year has been particularly tragic for UN peacekeepers as you lost many of your colleagues in the devastating earthquake in Haiti. Despite your own losses, you worked to support the Haitian people through the devastation. To all of the UN peacekeepers who have given your life in the service of pursuing peace. Your work is heroic, and on behalf of all of those who have benefited, directly or indirectly, from six decades of UN peacekeeping: THANK YOU.
