Timeline of UN peacekeeping missions

I have just come across this Timeline of UN peacekeeping missions it would seem to me that it ought to be merged with List of UN peacekeeping missions. See also Talk:List of countries where UN peacekeepers are currently deployed#List of countries where UN peacekeepers were deployed --Philip Baird Shearer 7 July 2005 21:09 (UTC)

Let me just say again that I don't see a big deal with substanial content duplication as long as they serve different navigational purposes. Especially since navigation is one of the primary purposes of a list, as opposed to prose. --Dmcdevit July 7, 2005 21:56 (UTC)

Maps

Hate to be picky but the map still shows Serbia and Montenegro jointly. Nor should the whole of these two states be shaded, just the Kosovo element of Serbia, as we do for East Timor within Indonesia. I wish I know how to edit these myself - may try to learn! JamesAVD 17:38, 6 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The map seems wrong, as India is showed as current, as other coutries. It should be reversed in terms of colors. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.141.82.202 (talk) 13:46, 9 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Non-UN controlled missions

I was wondering why this list does not incorporate those missions such as UNITAF and INTERFET which were sanctioned by the Security Council, but which were commanded by individual member states, rather than the UN? I accept that they are slightly different in their command and control arrangements, but they are really UN missions. At least this could be remarked upon or perhaps some of us could start a list of UN sanctioned peacekeeping missions" or the like --Mat Hardy (Affentitten) 02:47, 16 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This page needs citations

The individual missions on this page should be cited because the general source used for this page just links to a general website, and users looking for citations shouldn't have to comb a website for them. I'll give the contributors a week or so to work on it, and after that I might consider taking it to FLRC. -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 14:41, 15 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Category and infobox

These pages are used to help find all entries for Category:United Nations Security Council mandates, and subsequently their resolution giving them a mandate. As each of these has a structure with start date, end, webpage, etc, it'll soon be time to create an infobox for all such mandates. Citations will be unnecessary since the data will be on the pages linked.Goatchurch (talk) 23:19, 12 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Successes

Should be perhaps say if missions were successful or not? Could be interesting. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 155.245.120.48 (talk) 20:42, 26 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

New Discussion

A discussion has been started at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Countries/Lists of countries which could affect the inclusion criteria and title of this and other lists of countries. Editors are invited to participate. Pfainuk talk 11:59, 17 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

UNDOF

I disagree with the assertion of the article that UNDOF's location is in Syria, Lebanon and Israel. Although there are claims to the Golan Heights region by each of these nations - de facto - UNDOF currently only operates in territories controlled by two states - Syria and Israel (in addition to the fact that its mandate only regards Israel and Syria). Putting the flag of Lebanon alongside UNDOF is misleading as the force (and its mandate) don't deal with Lebanon in any aspect, except for some coordination with UNIFIL. The fact that the Shebaa Farms area is considered occupied Lebanese territory by some is irrelevant here, since it is irrelevant to UNDOF. If the question is where does UNDOF operate - the answer is simple - in Israel and Syria. Yonatan ^talk 17:18, 29 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

"All operations must include the resolution of conflicts through the use of force to be considered valid under the charter of the United Nations."

What does that mean? UN must use force to resolve the conflict? 85.230.138.163 (talk) 21:58, 18 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

unicorn farm vandalism

i found this article to have an odd section near the bottom about Rosalind Keyes having a unicorn farm, i found this odd so i went through and deleted that passage. forgive me if this was a mistake, and feel free to turn it back - Ian Clark — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ace510 (talk • contribs) 18:46, 18 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Outdated article

'The United Nations Mission in the Sudan (UNMIS) ended on 9 July 2011. It is now listed in past operations.' (United Nations Peacekeeping, Current Peacekeeping Operations, http://www.un.org/en/peacekeeping/operations/current.shtml) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.215.5.255 (talk) 21:00, 27 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Good work.Beefcake6412 (talk) 21:03, 27 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Multiple issues box

Could we remove the multiple issues box? I think that although the only source is the UN website, the links to each of the peacekeeping missions' websites are adequate citations for this article. ediss 22:02, 6 November 2014 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by SmileyLlama (talk • contribs)

UN Peace-KEEPING OPERATIONS versus UN Peace-BUILDING MISSIONS

There is a difference between Peacekeeping Operations and Peacebuilding Missions. The text clearly mixes both and isn't thorough in it's research on differences, hence objectives and principles.77.43.70.4 (talk) 17:21, 18 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The United Nations Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL) is not a peacekeeping mission, but a "special political mission"

The UNSMIL is not a peacekeeping mission, but rather, as mentioned on the website of the mission, a "special political mission". It is not listed in the UN's list of current peacekeeping missions. It is however listed here, as part of the UN's current Special Political Missions. As such it should not be on this list here, but rather on a distinct list with the other special political missions.Soirhiver (talk) 21:27, 10 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I've removed it from the list. I plan on eventually creating a page listing the United Nations Special Political Missions, if only for clearing up what goes where. Soirhiver (talk) 01:09, 11 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Map needs to be updated

The map shown is out of date, Haiti is still highlighted when the peacekeeping mission there ended in 2019. I'm not sure how to update so if someone could do that please. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.223.1.251 (talk) 11:32, 28 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
