Section 3: the UN and regional organizations

The international efforts to restore peace in Tajikistan involved not only the UN, but also the OSCE and the CIS, which proved to be a remarkable case of more than one intergovernmental organization concurrently involved in a violent conflict that erupted in the territories of the former Soviet Union after the Cold War. Indeed, there has been debate over how these two types of intergovernmental organizations—global and regional—could work in tandem effectively for the maintenance of international peace and security. According to Barnett:

Regional organizations and the UN are good at different things, have expertise in different activities, and their strengths and weaknesses can complement each other. In an era of severe resource constraints and abundant security problems, the realization of Chapter VIII [of the UN Charter] in the post-Cold War order suggests not just a partnership but also a functional division of labor.
