Abstract

This study examines the impact of (mis)information on united nations (un) peace operations, exploring how inaccuracies and deliberate distortions affect their effectiveness and credibility. In the age of digital media, the proliferation of misinformation poses significant challenges to peacekeeping efforts by influencing public perception, undermining trust, and complicating operational dynamics. Through a review of case studies and analysis of media narratives, this research highlights how (mis)information has shaped the discourse surrounding un peace operations, revealing patterns of misinformation and its repercussions on mission success. The study also evaluates strategies for countering misinformation and enhancing communication to safeguard the integrity and efficacy of peace operations.
