Al Jazeera English published this video item, entitled “UN struggles to agree on global peacekeeping budget” – below is their description.
In regions of conflict or natural disaster, thousands of soldiers and staff are deployed from around the world to help.
These are the UN peacekeepers, aka the Blue Helmets, and theirs is an expensive mission and needs funding worth billions of dollars.
This year, talks on the budget are in a deadlock and diplomats say an agreement is unlikely ahead of Thursday’s deadline.
Al Jazeera’s Diplomatic Editor James Bays reports.
