      UN MANDATE:
      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 followingpeacebuilding 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.
