Figure 1a shows that the number of forces in active service has fluctuated considerably between 1955
and 2015. The highest number was in 2016 at 105 000 with the lowest numbers in 1956/57 and
between 1968 and 1973 at only 5000.
The number of forces in active service has increased rapidly since 2003 with most of the increase
seen in the Middle East/North Africa and Sub-Saharan Africa. Between 2005 and 2010 theMiddle
East/North Africa saw an increase of 40 000 personnel.
There was a spike showing an increase in forces around the mid- 1990s with most of this increase in
Europe and Sub-Saharan Africa. Since 2007 there hasn't been any UN forces in Europe.
Asia has had very little deployment of UN forces with its peak of around 10 000 troops seen in the
Analyse the data shown in Figure 1a and Figure 1b. early 2000s. In 2016 there were no personnel in Asia. The Middle East/North Africa has had a
(6 AO3) constant presence of UN forces, with the exception of 1968-1973.
The divided bar shows that the origins of the peacekeeping forces has changed over time - in 1995
over half came from Europe but in 2016 this had reduced by 46%. Whereas Sub-Saharan Africa
supplies over 6 times the number of forces in 2016 compared to 1995.
1b shows some relationships to 1a, for example in 1995 Europe accounted for about 50% of all forces
in active service and this is reflected by the similar percentage of forces coming from Europe.
• However, the relationship between 1995 and 2016 is not always clear. For example, Asia accounts for
over 1/5 of troops in 1995 and over a third in 2016 yet accounts for no deployments in either 1995 or
2016 in 1a. Similarly, Middle East/North Africa has a similar percentage in 1b in both years yet in 2016
in 1a it has 9 times the number of troops in active service.
