Peace and Security Pillar: Incidents in the United Nations buffer zone in Cyprus

This dataset contains the comparison of different types of incidents in the buffer zone, spanning approximately 180 km across the island. Its northern and southern limits are the most advanced lines where the belligerents stood as of 16 August 1974, as recorded by UNFICYP.

Many parts of the buffer zone are farmed and/or inhabited. There are several villages or special areas (called Civil Use Areas) within the Buffer Zone, where more than 10,000 people live and/or work. Approximately 1,000 incidents occur within the buffer zone each year, ranging from altercations between individuals to substantial military violations.

UNFICYP keeps permanent watch over the buffer zone with patrols in vehicles, on foot, on bicycles and by helicopter. Additionally, a highly mobile unit stands ready to respond to emergencies within the buffer zone.
