Global demand for peacekeepers continued to rise in 2007. By the end of the year, there were over 160,000 peacekeepers in the field.

The UN remained the centerpiece of the international peacekeeping system, providing nearly 50 percent of all peacekeepers.

In 2007, the UN’s deployments of uniformed personnel grew by 10 percent to 83,000 personnel. In addition, there were nearly 20,000 civilian staff serving in UN peace operations.

This document, which was prepared by the Centre on International Cooperation, an independent institution forming part of New York University, examines the size, make-up and distribution of peace operations around the world.

The Center on International Cooperation’s (CIC) Annual Review of Global Peace Operations is the most comprehensive report of its kind, examining more than fifty UN and non-UN peace operations.

It aims to inform policy-makers, media outlets, academics and peacekeepers as the international community debates the prominent role of peace operations in conflict management. The report draws on data previously unavailable outside of the United Nations and other non-UN peacekeeping platforms.

CIC prepared the Annual Review with the support of the Peacekeeping Best Practices Section of the United Nations Department of Peacekeeping Operations, and the African Union Peace and Security Department.
