Moreover, ISPR stated that 183 Pakistani peacekeepers have embraced martyrdom while serving in different conflict zones under UN mandates. These personnel lost their lives while performing duties in volatile environments, where peace enforcement and civilian protection missions often face severe security risks and unpredictable operational challenges.
At present, Pakistani peacekeeping contingents are actively deployed in several UN missions, including operations in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, South Sudan, and the Central African Republic. These troops are engaged in maintaining peace, supporting stability, and assisting local authorities in restoring order in regions affected by prolonged conflict and humanitarian crises.

Furthermore, ISPR highlighted that modern peacekeeping missions are facing new challenges such as cyber threats, digital risks, and climate-related emergencies that demand greater international cooperation. Emphasizing the UN theme “Invest in Peace,” the statement urged stronger global investment in peacebuilding efforts while reaffirming Pakistan’s continued commitment to supporting global peace and humanitarian missions under the United Nations system.
