The Use of Force in UN Peacekeeping

The Use of Force in UN Peacekeeping

This edited volume provides a detailed and nuanced analysis of UN peacekeeping and the use of force to inform a better understanding of the complex and interconnected issues at stake for the UN community. Peacekeeping is traditionally viewed as a largely passive military activity governed by the principles of impartiality consent and the minimum use of force. Today most large UN Peacekeeping Operations are only authorized to use force in defence of their mandates and to protect civilians under imminent threat of physical violence. Recently with the deployment of the Force Intervention Brigade in the DRC the UN has gone beyond peacekeeping and into the realm of peace-enforcement. These developments have brought to the fore questions regarding the use of force in the context of peacekeeping. The key questions addressed in this book examine not only the utility of force but also the dilemmas and constraints inherent to the purposive use of force at a strategic operational and tactical level. Should UN peacekeepers exercise military initiative?Is UN peacekeeping capable of undertaking offensive military operations?If so then under what circumstances should peacekeepers use force?How should force be wielded? And against whom? With chapters written by experts in the field this comprehensive volume will be of great use and interest to postgraduate students academics and experts in international security the UN peacekeeping and diplomacy. | The Use of Force in UN Peacekeeping

The Millennium Development Goals adopted at the UN Millennium Summit in 2000 are the world's targets for dramatically reducing extreme poverty in its many dimensions by 2015¿income poverty hunger disease exclusion lack of infrastructure and shelter while promoting gender equality education health and environmental sustainability. These bold goals can be met in all parts of the world if nations follow through on their commitments to work together to meet them. Achieving the Millennium Development Goals offers the prospect of a more secure just and prosperous world for all. The UN Millennium Project was commissioned by United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan to develop a practical plan of action to meet the Millennium Development Goals. As an independent advisory body directed by Professor Jeffrey D. Sachs the UN Millennium Project submitted its recommendations to the UN Secretary General in January 2005. The core of the UN Millennium Project's work has been carried out by 10 thematic Task Forces comprising more than 250 experts from around the world including scientists development practitioners parliamentarians policymakers and representatives from civil society UN agencies the World Bank the IMF and the private sector.

UN Peacekeeping Doctrine in a New Era Adapting to Stabilisation Protection and New Threats

UN Peacekeeping Doctrine in a New Era Adapting to Stabilisation Protection and New Threats

This edited volume offers a thorough review of peacekeeping theory and reality in contemporary contexts and aligns the two to help inform practice. Recent UN peacekeeping operations have challenged the traditional peacekeeping principles of consent impartiality and the minimum use of force. The pace and scope of these changes have now reached a tipping point as the new mandates are fundamentally challenging the continued validity of the UN peacekeeping’s core principles and identity. In response the volume analyses the growing gap between these actual practices and existing UN peacekeeping doctrine exploring how it undermines the effectiveness of UN operations and endangers lives arguing that a common doctrine is a critical starting point for effective multi-national operations. In order to determine the degree to which this general principle applies to the current state of UN peacekeeping this book: Provides a review of conceptual and doctrinal developments in UN peacekeeping operations through a historical perspective Examines the debate related to peace operations doctrine and concepts among key Member States Focuses on the actual practice of peacekeeping by conducting case studies of several UN peacekeeping missions in order to identify gaps between practice and doctrine Critically analyses gaps between emerging peacekeeping practice and existing doctrine Recommends that the UN moves beyond the peacekeeping principles and doctrine of the past Combining empirical case-based studies on UN peace operations with studies on the views and policies of key UN Security Council members that generate these mandates and views of key contributors of UN peacekeepers this volume will be of great use to policy-makers; UN officials and peace operations practitioners; and academics working on peace and conflict/security studies international organizations and conflict management. | UN Peacekeeping Doctrine in a New Era Adapting to Stabilisation Protection and New Threats

UN Territorial Administration and Human Rights The Mission in Kosovo

UN Territorial Administration and Human Rights The Mission in Kosovo

This book offers an original and insightful analysis of the human rights inadequacies that arise in the practice of UN territorial administration by analysing and assessing the practice of UNMIK. It provides arguments based on law and principles to support the thesis that a comprehensive legal framework governing the activities of the UN mission is a crucial prerequisite for its proper functioning. This is complemented by a discussion of several emerging issues surrounding the UN activity on the ground namely its legislative judicial and executive power. The author offers an extensive and well-documented analysis of the UN’s capacity as a surrogate state administration to respond to the needs of the governed population and above all protect its fundamental rights. Based on her findings Murati concludes that only a comprehensive mandate can serve the long term interests of the international community’s objective to efficiently promote protect and fulfil human rights in a war-torn society. UN Territorial Administration and Human Rights provides a detailed critical legal analysis of one of the major UN administrations of territory after the Cold War namely the UN administration of Kosovo from 1999 to 2008. The analysis in this book will be beneficial to international law and international relations scholars and students as well as policymakers and persons working for international organisations. The analysis and the lessons learned through this study shed light on the challenges entailed in governing territories and rebuilding state institutions while upholding the rule of law and ensuring respect for human rights. | UN Territorial Administration and Human Rights The Mission in Kosovo
