Abstract

This article examines Yugoslavia's and India's peacekeeping operations in the Sinai peninsula of Egypt after the end of the 1956 Suez Crisis. The Suez Crisis was the first major international conflict involving one of the key nonaligned countries, Egypt. The bulk of the subsequent peacekeeping force was provided by two other key nonaligned countries, Yugoslavia and India. This effort was part of the UN's active involvement during the Suez Crisis to push for a solution that would safeguard world peace and stability. The crisis and the subsequent deployment of Yugoslav and Indian peacekeepers in the Sinai reflected the close diplomatic coordination among the three core nonaligned countries of those years—Egypt, India and Yugoslavia—on a global scale.
