United Nations (UN) peacekeeping missions involving Pakistan (Urdu: اقوامِ متحدہ ہیئتِ اعزامی برائے ادارتِ امنِ پاکستان) cover about 70 operations throughout different parts of the world. Pakistan joined the United Nations on 30 September 1947, despite opposition from Afghanistan because of the Durand Line issue. The Pakistan Armed Forces are the sixth largest contributor of troops towards UN peacekeeping efforts, behind Ethiopia and Rawanda.
