Number of Active Years
Number of years the 16 current UN peacekeeping operations have been active
This graphs shows the extreme differences in length of UN peacekeeping operations. Length of missions is becoming of extreme relevance as 2017 sees the draw-down of three UN peacekeeping operations- Haiti, Liberia and Cote d’Ivoire. It is also the year of mission evaluation where long time missions such as Kosovo and Cyprus may see some changes as the UN re-considers the issue of exit strategies.
