UNITED NATIONS PEACEKEEPING FORCE IN CYPRUS (UNFICYP)

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.
