REFORM OF UN PEACEKEEPING

The UN has clearly experienced problems in its attempts to provide effective peacekeeping in hostile environments; there is an unresolved, and perhaps unresolvable, controversy about the proper role of peacekeeping forces in civil conflicts, a tension between impartiality and effectiveness. The UN Secretary-General set up the Brahimi Panel to examine UN peacekeeping because the ‘UN simply could not continue to conduct business as usual when it came to peacekeeping operations. Too many times, in too many places, over the past decade, inadequate mandates and insufficient means and Headquarters support had led to calamities for the weak and vulnerable people the Organization sought to serve, for the brave and committed peacekeepers in the field, and for the Organization itself.’206 In fact many of the Report’s recommendations were not new; the Panel followed earlier calls for change by the Lessons Learned Units, the Special Committee on Peacekeeping and the Secretary-General’s own reports.
