The research provides an appraisal of UN PEACEKEEPING IN AFRICA .It investigates the effectiveness and problems of the mission with a possible aim of proffering recommendations. The study appraises the structural nature of Un Peacekeeping in Africa.
The UN Security Council authorizes peace operations by an affirmative vote of nine of the fifteen members without a veto from the five permanent members: the United States, China, France, Russia, the UK. The Security Council has authorized more than fifty peace operations in the years since the Cold War.
The UN deploys peacekeeping forces to prevent or contain fighting; stabilize post-conflict zones; help implement peace accords; and assist democratic transitions. To achieve those goals, the UN outlines the following peace-building activities:
Disarmament, demobilization, and reintegration of ex-combatants;
Landmine removal and associated activities;
Rule-of-law related activities;
Human rights protection and promotion;
Electoral assistance;
Support for the restoration of state authority; and
Promotion of social and economic recovery and development.
The UN generally follows three principles for deploying peacekeepers:
Main parties to the conflict must consent;
Peacekeepers should remain impartial but not neutral; and
Peacekeepers cannot use force except in self-defense and defense of the mandate.
However, UN peacekeepers are increasingly deployed to war zones when not all the main parties have consented, such as in Mali and eastern DRC. There is also mounting international pressure for peacekeepers to play a more robust role in protecting civilians. Despite the principle of impartiality, UN peacekeepers have been tasked with offensive operations against designated enemy combatants, as in Mali and the DRC. “Contemporary mandates have often blurred the lines separating peacekeeping, stabilization, counterinsurgency, counterterrorism, atrocity prevention, and state-building,†George Washington University’s Paul D. Williams writes in a new CFR report.
