In a recent United Nations Security Council meeting, Pakistan's Permanent Representative, Ambassador Asim Ahmad, highlighted the critical challenges facing UN peacekeeping operations due to financial constraints and diminishing multilateral support. As reported by Pakistan Today, Ahmad emphasized the importance of 'full cooperation by host states to ensure the timely and effective deployment of United Nations peacekeepers,' noting that Pakistan has contributed over 50 Formed Police Units to various UN missions. He stressed that 'blue helmets are the most visible symbol of the United Nations’ commitment to peace and stability,' urging member states to fulfill their financial commitments to sustain these operations. This call to action comes amid concerns that budget cuts could undermine the effectiveness of peacekeeping efforts globally.
