The
mission of the Bug
The Bug is attached to a original United Nations peace keeping barrette
emblem. This one i used during my peacekeeping mission in the war Bosnia
and Herzegovina during the Yugoslav wars from January to July 1995. I
was Deployed in Simin Han. The bug should travel back to the area where
I've served the UNPROFOR mission as a reminder to the people for who we
rebuilt their bridges and schools. The Bug is free to travel around the
earth after the Bug has finished the main goal of this mission.
UNPROFOR
In May 1993, intense fighting broke out in Central Bosnia between Bosniaks
and Bosnian Croats. Croat para-military forces, whose tie to the authorities
was unclear, committed exactions against Serbs and Bosniaks. The United
Nations Protection Force (UNPROFOR), was the first UN peacekeeping force
in Croatia and in Bosnia and Herzegovina during the Yugoslav wars. It
existed between the beginning of UN involvement in February 1992, and
its restructuring into other forces in March 1995. The UNPROFOR was composed
of nearly 39,000 personnel, 320 of whom were killed on duty. The initial
mandate of the UNPROFOR was to ensure conditions for peace talks, and
security in three demilitarised "safe-haven" enclaves designated
as United Nations Protected Areas (UNPAs) located in the former Yugoslav
republic of Croatia: Eastern Slavonia, Western Slavonia and Krajina. They
were places with strong Serb populations that had organised into the self-styled
Republic of Serbian Krajina, which had led to tensions and fighting.
