More than 19,000 peacekeepers work hard to deter violence and protect civilians across South Sudan, helping the world's newest country transition from war to peace. Today, the Secretary-General's Special Representative and Head of UNMISS, Nicholas Haysom, honoured them for their service and sacrifice, especially during the time of COVID-19 at a simple but meaningful ceremony at the mission's headquarters in Juba.
