History

The Special Committee was created on 18 February 1965 by Resolution 2006 (XIX).[2] It was mandated to conduct a comprehensive review of all issues relating to United Nations peacekeeping.

Each year the General Assembly extends in mandate and calls for it to consider any new proposals that work to enhance the capacity of the United Nations to fulfil its responsibilities in the field of peacekeeping.[3][4]
