Formation of UN Truce Supervision Organization

May 29th, 1948 76 years ago

The United Nations Truce Supervision Organization (UNTSO) was established to monitor ceasefires and assist in achieving peace in the region of Palestine. This organization was an early response to the conflicts arising from the 1948 Arab-Israeli War following the end of the British Mandate in Palestine. The creation of UNTSO marked the United Nations' first peacekeeping operation, a significant step in international efforts to maintain peace and security. Its mission included overseeing the ceasefire agreements between Israeli and Arab forces.
