Remarks at wreath-laying Ceremony in Commemoration of the International Day of United Nations Peacekeepers

29 May 2014 | UN Headquarters, New York

Thank you for attending this important commemoration. I would like to begin with a solemn moment of silence to honour the 106 fallen heroes who died while serving under the United Nations flag in 2013 – and to remember the more than 3,200 who have lost their lives in the history of UN peacekeeping. [A moment of silence was observed] Thank you. Last year was the sixth year in a row that more than 100 peacekeepers died. Some were killed when their convoys came under attack in Darfur and South Sudan.
