UN PEACEKEEPING: THE FIRST STEPS
Traditionally, UN peacekeeping meant the deployment of military personnel. The blue berets were normally deployed in international conflicts after a truce was signed.
From 1948 to 1989 there were two main types of UN mission:
1. Observer misions with unarmed military observers. For example, the military observers deployed in 1988 to monitor the ceasefire between Iran and Iraq.
2. Peacekeeping forces deployed in an area of separation or buffer zone. For example, the UN soldiers deployed in 1974 after Israeli and Syrian forces stopped fighting.
