In addition to this direct contribution, it is also present on the ground with UN authorized forces that are not blue berets.<\/p>\n<p>France is the only UN Member State to deploy a national force in support of peacekeeping operations. In Mali, French operation \u2018Barkhane\u2019 supports African forces and the MINUSMA in order to fight jihadist terrorism in the region. Until 2016, French operation \u2018Sangaris\u2019 was supporting MINUSCA in the Central African Republic. France also contributes financially to African operations, like the Multinational Joint Task Force fighting against Boko Haram and the G5 Sahel Joint Force.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_74304\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-74304\" style=\"width: 700px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-74304\" src=\"http:\/\/192.163.207.100\/~timesku1\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/CHEBAA.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"493\" srcset=\"https:\/\/timeskuwait.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/CHEBAA.jpg 700w, https:\/\/timeskuwait.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/CHEBAA-300x211.jpg 300w, https:\/\/timeskuwait.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/CHEBAA-696x490.jpg 696w, https:\/\/timeskuwait.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/CHEBAA-596x420.jpg 596w, https:\/\/timeskuwait.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/CHEBAA-100x70.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-74304\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">UN peacekeepers watch the border area in the area of th Chebaa farms.<br \/>In this area, the Blue Line is not marked on the ground.

It has worked for the elaboration of numerous treaties and is very involved in actions to enforce the non-proliferation regime. That is why France supported the adoption of the CTBT (Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty) and called on all States to ratify it. It is especially concerned by the development of nuclear and ballistic programs in North Korea.<\/p>\n<p>France, together with its Security Council\u2019s partners, voted in favor of the last sanctions adopted against North Korea.
