Polish Police Contingents in UN Peacekeeping Missions in 1992–2023

Abstract

Participation in UN peacekeeping missions is one of the forms of international cooperation of the Polish Police, which is a statuary task of this formation. Polish police contingents sent as part of UN missions, although small in number, played a certain role in providing security, as well as brought promotional benefits, and also were significant for exchange of experiences and development of contacts with police forces of other countries. Participation in peacekeeping operations abroad also caused institutional and legal changes in the Polish Police.
