Post-World War II peacekeeping missions have played a significant role in sustaining global peace and resolving conflicts in ambiguous regions and states. These missions are supported by contributions from numerous UN members, including Pakistan. This study's primary objective is to investigate Pakistan's commitments and participation in UN peacekeeping missions. This study aims to elucidate Pakistan's participation in UNPKOs and its contributions to these operations. Maintaining international peace and security is one of Pakistan's top foreign policy priorities. As a consequence, it has participated actively in United Nations peacekeeping missions since its inception. Pakistan has participated in 46 missions in 28 countries and regions, all of which were vital to the maintenance of international peace and security. Due to their patient demeanours and high level of professionalism, Pakistani peacekeepers have completed numerous successful missions, gained the hearts and minds of the local populace, and received a great deal of international praise. To date, 157 Pakistanis have also lost their lives for this noble cause.
