The United Nations has formally marked 70 years of peacekeeping operations by remembering all their "blue helmets" and U.N. personnel who lost their lives in the line of duty. More than 3,700 peacekeepers have been killed since the U.N. peacekeeping department began their first deployment in 1948. Our U.N. correspondent Liling Tan was at the ceremony that marked the solemn milestone.
