The United Nations is one of Humanity's key components making a distinct and significant difference in the process of achieving a secure, peaceful and healthy environment wherein distressed populations can be safely provisioned for with humanitarian assistance and development toward a viable life of sustainability with human rights, freedom and dignity.

Since its inception in 1945, the United Nations has been an indispensable peacekeeping force throughout troubled areas around the world. And in the 21st Century, the United Nations yet holds fast to its peacekeeping responsibilities and principles for the preservation of populations beset by hostilities, extreme poverty, famine and other adversities.

The United Nations blue Helmet presence has made - and is yet making - a firm peacekeeping stance with intentions of ensuring a safe environment for the furtherance of human development toward sustainability now . . . and for many generations to come.
