UN member states may volunteer personnel, equipment, supplies or other support for a peacekeeping mission. Countries providing these essential elements are reimbursed from the mission budget at agreed rates. Military and civilian police in peacekeeping operations remain members of their own national establishments but serve under the operational control of the United Nations and are expected to conduct themselves in accordance with the exclusively international character of their mission.
The salary of a peacekeeper is determined by his or her government. UN pays about US$1,000 every month for each peacekeeper to his or her government.
