Database on Multilateral Peace Operations
The SIPRI database on peace
operations uniquely provides transparent
and reliable data on all multilateral peace operations (both UN and
non-UN) conducted around the world.
Here you will find information on where an operation is located, the dates of its deployment and operation, the mission mandate, the participating countries, the approved and actual number of personnel deployed broken into personnel types, the financial costs, and the number of fatalities suffered.
The database records all peace operations according to the definitions of the SIPRI project on Multilateral Peace Operations. An explanation of our definitions and methodology is presented here.
The database currently includes over 500 peace operations in the period 2000-2008 and will be updated continually.
