The United Nations (UN) deploys peacekeeping forces with two main purposes: to separate warring, or antagonistic, parties, and to keep local conflicts from spreading over a larger region. This photograph shows UN peacekeeping forces in Sarajevo during the civil war in Bosnia and Herzegovina in the 1990s.
