Explanation

The United Nations peacekeeping history confirms all three statements. Statement 1 is correct as the first 'armed' peacekeeping force (UNEF I) was deployed to Egypt during the 1956 Suez Crisis, though the UNTSO (1948) was the first observer mission. Statement 2 is correct because peacekeeping operations are established and mandated by the UN Security Council, which maintains ultimate political and operational accountability over them [c1][c2]. Statement 3 is correct as India made history in 2007 by deploying the first-ever all-female Formed Police Unit (FPU) to the UN Mission in Liberia (UNMIL), a landmark event in UN peacekeeping gender mainstreaming [c5]. India remains one of the largest troop contributors to UN missions globally [c5]. Therefore, all statements are accurate representations of UN peacekeeping milestones and governance.
