The New Zealand Defence Force (NZDF) today paid tribute to thousands of its personnel who served under the United Nations flag as it marked the International Day of UN Peacekeepers.
 
The UN is celebrating this year the 70th anniversary of the UN Truce Supervision Organization (UNTSO), its first peacekeeping mission which was established on 29 May 1948 to supervise the Armistice Agreements between Israel and its Arab neighbours.
 
The UNTSO mission is the NZDF’s longest peacekeeping deployment and its largest single contribution to a UN-led peacekeeping operation. Apart from the UNTSO, the NZDF currently contributes personnel to UN peacekeeping missions in Mali, South Korea and South Sudan.
