UNFICYP is one of the longest-running UN Peacekeeping missions. On 15 February 1964 the representatives of the United Kingdom and of Cyprus requested urgent action by the Security Council. On the same day, the Secretary-General appealed to all concerned for restraint. He was already engaged in intensive consultations with all the parties about the functions and organization of a United Nations force, and, on 4 March, the Security Council unanimously adopted resolution 186 (1964), by which it noted that the situation in Cyprus was likely to threaten international peace and security, and recommended the creation of a United Nations Peacekeeping Force in Cyprus (UNFICYP), with the consent of the government of Cyprus. Currently, 01 Staff Officer from Bangladesh Armed Forces is deployed in Cyprus. Lieutenant General Mohammad Asadullah Minhazul Alam has been selected as the Force Commander of UNFICYP and is scheduled to deploy in the first week of June 2026.
