On Tuesday, 29 May the fifth annual International Day of United Nations Peacekeepers will be observed worldwide to honour all peacekeepers, especially those who have made the ultimate sacrifice in the service of peace.
In Liberia, UNMIL will observe Day, beginning at 10 a.m., with a wreath-laying ceremony at UNMIL Headquarters, Pan African Plaza in Monrovia in remembrance of all fallen peacekeepers worldwide.
The ceremony will bring together the Special Representative of the Secretary-General, Mr. Alan Doss and the United Nations family, President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf and senior officials of the Liberian Government, members of the Diplomatic Corps, UN family members, other partners and all peacekeepers.
Following the wreath-laying ceremony, journalists will be taken to various communities in Monrovia and its suburbs to cover UNMIL peacekeepers providing humanitarian assistance – such as free medical services by military medical personnel - to Liberians. Similar activities will be taking place in other parts of the country
