Who are we?

The AISP, under French law, was established on November 19, 1988. Since 1995, this association has held a general consultative status with the United Nations Economic and Social Council, under resolution 12-96 (XLIV) of July 3, 1995, within the framework of the Security Council resolutions.

Our missions:

  • to extend, on the humanitarian and diplomatic level, the actions of the Blue Helmets carried out on the ground.
  • to assist former UN peacekeepers in their career transition, in the recognition of their rights, and to promote the memory of actions that involved more than one and a half million veterans.
