Conference proceedings: research results and approaches of advocacy to unarmed civilian protection / peacekeeping

Since 1999, in the aftermath of the tragic failures in Rwanda and
Srebrenica, the UN Security Council (UNSC) has readily and consistently
entrusted UN peacekeeping operations (UNPKOs) with robust mandates and the
authority to use force beyond self-defense for the protection of civilians.
In the ensuing decades, it has also sought to provide more robust resources
including vehicles, weapons, equipment, and technologies to enable UNPKOs to
implement and fulfill their mandates. What is only now being addressed,
however, is the need for more robust performance. This presentation
describes the mindset, understanding, and attitudes that are required to
achieve an effective level of performance.

Examines the privatization of peacekeeping. The spotty record of the UN in this role are briefly addressed before looking at the role of private companies in peace operations, particularly in Africa. The private sector is less expensive, more flexible, & more efficient, making the outsourcing of peace operations sensible to governments. Issues of accountability & regulation of these private companies are touched on. it is concluded that the limitations of international peacekeeping point to the utility of privatizing those services.
