WITH THE END OF THE COLD WAR, STATES ARE REVISING RELATIONSHIPS WITH OTHER STATES AND WITHIN THE GLOBAL INSTITUTIONAL FRAMEWORK AS A WHOLE. THE ISSUES PRESENTED IN THIS ARTICLE RAISE CRUCIAL QUESTIONS ABOUT THE UN SYSTEM'S CAPACITY TO TACKLE THE PROBLEMS OF OUR DAY. THE PAPER EXAMINES A COMMUNICATIONS BREAKDOWN AND POINTS OUT THAT WHEN THE UN ENGAGED IN PEACE NEGOTIATIONS EARLY IN 1990 IT DID NOT THINK TO CONSULT THE IMF OR THE WORLD BANK. IT ARGUES THAT BETTER INTEGRATION SHOULD BE ADDRESSED NOW.

A COUNTRY DEEPLY DIVIDED ALONG ETHNIC AND CLASS LINES, GUATEMALA IS NOW EMERGING FROM THE LONGEST AND BLOODIEST INTERNAL WAR IN LATIN AMERICA IN RECENT TIMES. GUATEMALAN SOCIETY--THE VAST CIVIL SOCIETY NETWORKS, THE GOVERNMENT, THE MILITARY, THE GUERRILLA ORGANIZATIONS (URNG), AND THE BUSINESS SECTOR--LOOKS EAGERLY TOWARD THE FORMAL SIGNING OF THE PEACE ACCORDS, THE RESULT OF ARDUOUS NEGOTIATIONS. ALTHOUGH THE ARMED CONFLICT MAY END--NO SMALL ACHIEVEMENT GIVEN ITS HORRENDOUS HUMAN COST--THE PROBLEMS THAT PRODUCED THE WAR REMAIN IN PLACE AND WILL AFFECT THE LONG-TERM PROSPECTS FOR REAL PEACE. ALTHOUGH THE U.N. HAS BEEN PRESENT IN GUATEMALA THROUGH THE U.N. HIGH COMMISSIONER ON REFUGEES AND THE U.N. DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM, THIS ARTICLE FOCUSES ON MINUGUA (MISION DE LAS NACIONES UNIDAS DE VERIFICACION DE DERECHOS HUMANOS EN GUATEMALA), THE ORGANIZATION CHARGED WITH MONITORING THE NATION'S HUMAN RIGHTS SITUATION. IT EXAMINES MINUGUA'S ROLE IN LAYING THE BASIS FOR PEACE IN VIOLENCE-TORN GUATEMALA. MINUGUA HAS FOLLOWED ITS MANDATE TO THE LETTER, BUT THE MANDATE HAS SERIOUS LIMITATIONS THAT RAISE TWO FAR-REACHING QUESTIONS: IS MINUGUA'S ROLE TOO LIMITED TO PRODUCE REAL CHANGE IN GUATEMALA? AND COULD THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY INTERVENE MORE EFFECTIVELY?
Recent attention has focused on the difficulties of establishing 'coherence' between humanitarian relief aid in complex emergencies and the objective of ending violent conflict. This paper introduces a parallel problem: absence of total synergy between making peace and building democracy. A widely held assumption in the international community is that in post-conflict situations peace-building and democratization are virtually synonymous; creating the conditions for the one does so for both, the two processes will be reciprocal and mutually supportive. This suggests the policy issues will be simple. But the reality could be very different. Choices have to be addressed between requisites for peace and conditions for democracy; over the different implications for peace of competing designs for democracy; and over the kind of 'democracy' and its relation to other essential developments like state-building Institutional crafting is important; but matters concerning civil society and political culture must be addressed too. Governance and welfare considerations will bear on both peace and democracy but not necessarily in identical ways. There are temporal choices to address as well; the order of passage from peace to stable democracy may be as significant as the rites of passage. The belief that the well-known theory of a democratic peace in international relations has its complement in a democratic domestic peace looks plausible, but 'getting there' after conflict will be challenging. Issues of strategy and policy are most problematic where peace, prosperity and democracy have all been deficient—a situation common to many societies. – democratization ; conflict ; democratic domestic peace

The world clearly needs some new ways of thinking about old problems and new ways of acting if we are going to survive into the 21st century. It is vital, therefore, that students of peace and conflict work out ways of harnessing the creative imagination of everyone so that all peoples can envisage a positive future and ways of realizing that future. This imagining cannot be narrow. It has to be broad, inclusive, interdisciplinary and systemic but it has to begin if we are to have a viable future.
