The service of Nepalese men and women has not come without enormous sacrifice – 76 of them have lost their lives serving under the UN flag over the past six decades. Nepalese peacekeepers serving with the UN Operation in Burundi are seen here arriving in the town of Isale to check on security and the local population in December 2004.

For over six decades, Nepalese women and men have served around the world as United Nations peacekeepers. The South Asian nation is currently the fifth largest contributor to UN peacekeeping, with over 5,700 personnel serving in more than a dozen countries. They protect vulnerable communities and support countries working to move from conflict to peace, doing so at great personal risk and in harsh conditions.
