UN News highlights the long-term role of international peace operations in rebuilding security after war. UN missions have helped secure elections after civil wars, disarm child soldiers and support transitions toward stable state institutions. The broader security lesson is that military containment alone does not produce durable peace. Mozambique, Cambodia, Sierra Leone and Namibia illustrate how international missions can shape the post-war order.
