Explanation

United Nations multidimensional peacekeeping operations are designed to address complex crises by performing diverse core functions. Stabilization is a primary objective, as seen in missions like MINUSCA and MINUSMA, which aim to maintain security and protect civilians in volatile environments. Peace consolidation is another core function, involving the implementation of peace agreements, supporting political processes, and ensuring lasting peace through institutional support [2]. Conversely, extending support to a 'losing State' in a war is not a function of UN peacekeeping. Peacekeeping is strictly guided by the principle of impartiality, meaning operations do not take sides or support specific parties in a conflict. Instead, they facilitate reconciliation and monitor peace processes between all parties involved [2]. Therefore, only statements 1 and 2 are correct core functions of multidimensional operations.
