Opis

The concept of UN peacekeeping has had to evolve and change to meet the challenges of contemporary sources of conflict. From a practical, operational and legal perspective, Murphy examines the problems faced by UN peacekeeping operations. Three case studies (Lebanon, Somalia and Kosovo) are used to demonstrate the problems associated with the command and control of UN forces, the use of force and rules of engagement, and the implementation of international human rights and humanitarian law by such forces.

Recenzje

' … a solid read … It provides a rich analysis of the character of UN military and civilian operations in Lebanon, Somalia and Kosovo, while providing insightful regional analysis. … a straightforward, relatively compelling and 'politically incorrect' indictment of UN peacekeeping and peace-enforcement practice and doctrine. … rich in information and punchy analysis … a worthy read.' Jeremy I. Levitt, International Peacekeeping Journal
