These Canadian officers join some 125,000 Canadian peacekeepers who have served abroad since 1947, the biggest cumulative contribution to peacekeeping operation from any country. Operation HAMLET is the Canadian Armed Forces’ participation in the United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti, which is commonly known by its French name, Mission des Nations Unies pour la stabilisation en Haïti (MINUSTAH).
