You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 34.227.0.0/16 has been blocked by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 11:46, 23 November 2025. Your current IP address is 34.227.114.28.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

The '''International Day of United Nations Peacekeepers''', May 29, is "an [[list of minor secular observances#May|international day]] to pay [[respect|tribute]] to all the men and women who have served and continue to serve in [[History of United Nations peacekeeping|United Nations peacekeeping operations]] for their high level of [[professionalism]], [[dedication (ritual)|dedication]], and courage and to honor the [[memorialization|memory]] of those who have lost their lives in the cause of peace."<ref>((cite web| url= http://daccess-ods.un.org/TMP/8587599.html| title= Resolution 57/129 International Day of United Nations Peacekeepers))((Dead link|date=January 2020 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes ))</ref>

==Creation==
It was so designated by [[United Nations General Assembly]] Resolution 57/129, on December 11, 2002, after an official request of the Ukrainian Peacekeepers Association and the Government of Ukraine to the UN General Assembly and first celebrated in 2003. The date, May 29, marks the anniversary of the creation of the [[United Nations Truce Supervision Organization]] (UNTSO) in 1948 to monitor the [[ceasefire]] after the [[1948 Arab-Israeli War]], which was the first ever UN peacekeeping mission.

==Commemoration==
The day is marked at the [[United Nations Headquarters]] in [[New York City]] with the presentation of the [[Dag Hammarskjöld Medal]], statements by the [[President of the General Assembly]] and the [[Secretary-General of the United Nations|Secretary-General]], as well as a press release regarding the state of UN Peacekeeping missions and the continued necessity of their work.

There are also observances around the world; often countries will honor their own peacekeepers abroad, but the UN also organizes festivals, discussion forums, and memorials in cooperation with local and national groups.

In 2009, the UN put a special focus on the role of and need for women in peacekeeping, both as role models and also to serve in a number of gender-specific capacities.<ref>((cite web| url= https://www.un.org/en/events/peacekeepersday/2009/|title= Women in Peacekeeping: Power to Empower|website=www.un.org))</ref>

[[National Peacekeepers' Day]] is commemorated in Canada on 9 August in memory of the loss of life when a [[Canadian peacekeepers]] white UN marked passenger airplane was shot down by Syria.<ref>((Cite web|url=http://www.veterans.gc.ca/eng/remembrance/history/canadian-armed-forces/peacekeeping|title=National Peacekeepers' Day – August 9th - Veterans Affairs Canada|website=www.veterans.gc.ca|date=30 July 2021))</ref>
