The following table and graph illustrates the total UN peacekeeping operations expenditures since 1947 in current vs real terms.

Table Notes:

  • All sums are rounded in $US millions.
  • Peacekeeping Expenditures: Since 1996 the Peacekeeping budget is measured by July-June basis instead of by calendar year. (For example "2003" refers to July 2003 - June 2004) From 2000 onwards, peacekeeping data represent approved budgets rather than actual expenditures.
