Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a long overdue assessment of the role of the UN specialized Agencies in peacekeeping operations. Special emphasis is given to that most vexed category, 'complex emergencies', invloving entrapped or victimized civilian populations and a plethora of UN national military and NGO actors.While based on the full range of recent history, the contributions to this volume are forward looking and policy-oriented, bringing a hard edged practicality to complex and hitherto under-examined issues.

Book Synopsis Complex Emergencies by : Edward Marks
Download or read book Complex Emergencies written by Edward Marks and published by . This book was released on 2002-06-01 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The end of the Cold War opened a Pandora?s box of local conflicts around the world. These crises often call for peacekeeping or humanitarian assistance operations, and sometimes for a combination of the two. For a multitude of reasons, these operations have moved up the priority list of potential missions for the American military and other U. S. Government agencies. Recent deployments to locales as far apart as Rwanda and Haiti and missions as disparate as famine relief in Somalia and maintaining peacekeeping forces in Bosnia are obvious examples. U. S. involvement in peacekeeping and humanitarian assistance is often pursued in a multinational framework, usually involving the United Nations. At the urging of the United States and other nations, the U. N. headquarters in New York has been reorganized in recent years to improve its management of these types of complex emergencies. Three new U. N. Secretariat organizations have been created: the Department of Political Affairs, Peacekeeping Operations, and Humanitarian Affairs. Even though the United States was a major player in the reform movement that produced these new entities, American officials still have little experience with or knowledge of these departments, which are still very much in the early "shake down" stages of development. To help U. S. Government operators function effectively with the new U. N. departments, the author - Edward Marks, a U. S. Ambassador with extensive experience in this area - has produced this guide. Ambassador Marks describes in detail the capabilities and functions of the new bureaucracies, appending useful information on the missions, budget, and structure of each. This handbook should help orient the increasing numbers of U. S. operators, military and civilian alike, who may well find themselves working with the United Nations on a peacekeeping or humanitarian mission. Ervin J.

Book Synopsis Beyond the Emergency by : Jeremy Ginifer
Download or read book Beyond the Emergency written by Jeremy Ginifer and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-09-13 with total page 149 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume focuses on the issue of development within the UN peace mission. It examines a number of critical issues relating to the interface between development, relief and peacekeeping, including institutional coordination, the implementation of development in the field, and the contending philosophies that sometimes underpin military and developmental approaches to human security. Not least, it poses the question of how sustainable development fits within the post-conflict space of UN peace missions.
Book Synopsis Developing a United Nations Emergency Peace Service by : H. Peter Langille
Download or read book Developing a United Nations Emergency Peace Service written by H. Peter Langille and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-07-14 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book makes the case for a standing UN Emergency Peace Service. With this one development - effectively a UN first responder for complex emergencies - the organization would finally have a rapid, reliable capacity to help fulfill its tougher assigned tasks. To date, the UNEPS initiative has encountered an unreceptive political, fiscal, and security environment. Yet overlapping crises are now inevitable as are profound shifts. This book presents an insightful review of the worrisome security challenges ahead and analysis of two recent high-level UN reports. It addresses the primary roles, core principles, and requirements of a UNEPS, as well as the arguments for and against such a dedicated UN service. Further, it reveals that the primary impediments and lessons learned also help demonstrate what may work and, equally important, what won't. With modest support, the book shows, the next steps are feasible, although it's important to recall that ideas, even good ideas, don't work unless we do.

Book Synopsis Complex Emergencies in the 21st Century by : Festus Boahen Aboagye
Download or read book Complex Emergencies in the 21st Century written by Festus Boahen Aboagye and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The AU System does not shy away from its inglorious past that characterised the OAU from its inception in 1963 until the start of its transformation during the early 1990s. Coming of age at the height of the Cold War, the OAU was politically torn between competing East-West political ideologies that instilled fear among and between the newly independent African states. African leaders of that era, who were also founding fathers of the continental Organisation, were driven by an inordinate desire for power for safeguarding national independence and sovereignty. By extension, this resulted in many of them remaining in office for far longer than was necessary. Convinced of their mandate to safeguard Africa's sovereignty, they sought to claim that they were the only ones bequeathed with love of country, sufficient wisdom and commitment to safeguard national independence.

Book Synopsis Aspects of Peacekeeping by : Stuart Gordon
Download or read book Aspects of Peacekeeping written by Stuart Gordon and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-05-22 with total page 317 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The nature of UN operational involvement in the practical management of conflict has evolved dramatically since the end of the Cold War. The post-Cold War liberation of the Security Council, the subsequent paralysis in its decision-making competence, and the apparent dilution of the concept of sovereignty as a prohibition on intervention have been principal factors in the evolving fortunes of UK peace-support operations. This evolving environment has had profound implications for the way in which the humanitarian community, the United Nations and military forces engaged under a UN flag have reacted to peace-support operations. This book explores contemporary peace-support operations and examines many of the principal challenges that now confront those charged, in different ways, with bringing peace to war-torn societies. In particular, this volume looks at the evolving nature of military, UN and humanitarian non-governmental organization's intervention in these complex conflicts. It also explores how these organizations relate to one another and the way in which a division of labour is determined.

Book Synopsis Confronting Complex Emergencies in Africa by : Festus Boahen Aboagye
Download or read book Confronting Complex Emergencies in Africa written by Festus Boahen Aboagye and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Because of dramatic changes in the nature and impact of armed conflict since the end of the Cold War, humanitarian military intervention has assumed increasing importance as a conflict management and resolution tool. Given the lethargic nature of UN interventions, moral imperatives have compelled African institutions to deploy intervention forces, sometimes with weak mandates, insufficient means and heavily dependent on external support. On the ground, the use of force by such "humanitarian" operations has not materially impacted the security situation, or been able to meet heightened public expectations in the protection of civilians. This is because "robust" multidimensional peace operations have sought merely to adapt the Cold War doctrine of peacekeeping to compelling new realities, primarily focusing on humanitarian assistance, as opposed to the restoration of security. These inadequacies underscore the need for rethinking current responses on a new doctrine of "humanitarian security intervention" with a mandate allowing a higher remit in the use of force, primarily to restore and maintain security. Such a responsive doctrine promises to address compelling humanitarian imperatives, and meet increasing public expectations of effective civilian protection.
