Pakistani Police Return Home after Service to UNMIT
Pakistani police officers prepare to board a return flight home as they end their service with the UN Integrated Mission in Timor-Leste (UNMIT).
Pakistan is among the countries to have contributed the most police officers to UNMIT, roughly 900, since the mission’s establishment amid the Timorese crisis in 2006. Today Timor-Leste has assumed its own policing responsibilities, with democratic presidential and parliamentary elections held peacefully in 2012.
