ABSTRACT:
A 14 page paper. The United Nations invented the concept and practice of peacekeeping as a response to the political realities of the Cold War. The Charter does not specifically cover peacekeeping operations, therefore, the UN Security Council adopted principles for these kinds of activities, one of which is not to use force except for self-defense. This essay discusses the UN's role in peacekeeping and the principles of these operations. Also discussed is the NATO Allied forces and their activities. The writer discusses the evolution of peacekeeping missions as the Cold War ended. Peacekeeping operations have become far more complex in the last decade. Humanitarian crises have become more intense as well as more frequent. The role of the military and the need for the military in these kinds of missions is explained. Examples are included. Bibliography lists 9 sources.
