Description

The Future of UN Peacekeeping

During the Cold War, UN peacekeeping was principally to contain conflicts that the big powers deemed “peripheral.” In more recent times, it was successful in bringing a measure of stability to places like Namibia, El Salvador, Mozambique and Cambodia. But it also faltered badly – in countries like Somalia, the former Yugoslavia and Rwanda. What about UN peacekeeping today? Will the recent conflict in Iraq affect its operations? How will UN peacekeeping evolve in the future? In this edition of World Chronicle, Jean-Marie Guéhenno, the UN Under-Secretary-General for Peacekeeping Operations, answers questions about the role of the blue berets in light of the recent or current conflicts in Iraq, Democratic Republic of the Congo, and Ethiopia-Eritrea.
