Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although the concept of credibility has been identified by the United Nations as a significant factor in successful peacekeeping operations, its role has largely been ignored in the literature on peacekeeping at the local level. In this book, Newby provides the first detailed examination of credibility’s essential place in peacekeeping. With empirically rich analysis, Newby explores the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) and its navigation of political tensions in one of the world’s geopolitical flashpoints, a place where the mission’s work is constrained by weak local legitimacy born of a complex political situation. Identifying four types of credibility—technical, material, security, and responsiveness—Newby traces the ways in which building credibility served UNIFIL and has enabled the mission to exercise its mandate despite significant challenges on the ground. Peacekeeping in South Lebanon unpacks the day-to-day business of running a peace mission and argues that credibility should be regarded as an independent construct when considering how a peacekeeping operation functions and survives.

Download or read book A decade of UNIFIL (United Nations Interim Forces in Lebanon)- A critical approach to the effectiveness and appropriateness of UN-peacekeeping based on the example of UNIFIL written by David Federhen and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2004-07-13 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2004 in the subject Politics - Topic: International Organisations, grade: A = 1, International University in Germany Bruchsal (Department of Sciences and Liberal Arts), language: English, abstract: This paper discusses the role of UN peacekeeping missions at the case of the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) by looking into its first ten years of operation. The author comes to the conclusion that UNIFIL failed to achieve what it was established for, but at the same time points out that inefficient or even ineffective UN peacekeeping missions do nothing to undermine the general idea and justifiability of peacekeeping as a measure for inter-state or infra-state conflict resolution. Since its formation in 1945, the United Nations Organization has engaged in numerous peacekeeping missions around the world, the first of which was installed in 1956 to resolve the Suez-crisis. Some of those missions have been concluded in rather short periods of time. Others, as will become apparent throughout this text, have not been concluded successfully even after decades. This text will critically discuss on the role and effectiveness of UN peacekeeping missions by taking a closer look at the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) which was formed and consequently put into action in 1978 – but has proved to be unable to fulfill its mandate until today. By analyzing the case of UNIFIL the author will illustrate some of the major problems which impair such peacekeeping missions from being concluded successfully, and eventually cause them to last for decades. For this purpose, the first part of this text will be dedicated to what constitutes an UN peacekeeping mission. In the second part of this text the author will briefly provide background information on UNIFIL and major events that took place between 1978 and 1988 – a period by itself considered long enough by the author to make a qualified judgment about UNIFIL’s effectiveness since it was actually supposed to serve as “ ‘an interim measure until the Government of Lebanon assumes its full responsibilities in southern Lebanon’ ” (Thakur, 1987, p. 40).

Book Synopsis International Peacekeeping In Lebanon by : Ramesh Thakur
Download or read book International Peacekeeping In Lebanon written by Ramesh Thakur and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-04-09 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Examining the efficacy of U.N. peace efforts, Dr. Ramesh Thakur compares limited peacekeeping through U.N. authority with more coercive means such as the Multinational Force (MNF) in Lebanon. He finds that the role of the U.S.-led MNF coalition cannot be justified in terms of great-power responsibility for ensuring a stable international order, since the coalition has attempted to substitute military power for authoritative peacekeeping. When MNF legitimacy was questioned and authority was challenged, the MNF's use of force in response to those challenges switched the coalition's role from third-party peacekeeper to factional participant. As a result, every successive attempt to strengthen the MNF mandate has further subordinated the concept of neutral international peacekeeping to calculated support of national interests. If reasoned attempts to keep the peace are not to collapse into exercises in national self-interest, then peacekeeping responsibilities must remain with the U.N., supported by the great powers: Only the U.N. can provide an authoritative exposition of values within the context of international society and bestow international legitimacy upon peacekeeping activities; only the great powers can back the U.N. with requisite force.
Book Synopsis Peacekeeping On Arab-Israeli Fronts by : Nathan A Pelcovits
Download or read book Peacekeeping On Arab-Israeli Fronts written by Nathan A Pelcovits and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-06-04 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since 1948, the United Nations has sponsored virtually every third party peacekeeping mission on Arab· Israeli fronts. Three recent events, however, have been responsible for significantly altering the pattern of peacekeeping in the region: the Camp David accords, which, because they were opposed in the U.N. by the Soviet Union and most Arab nations, prevented U.N. sponsorship of a Sinai peacekeeping force; the June 1982 Israeli invasion of Lebanon, during which the U.N. Interim Force was made to look ineffectual; and the Sabra-Shatila massacres in South Beirut three months later, which prompted the deployment of a multinational peacekeeping force. Dr.Pelcovits analyzes these events to answer the questions they raise about peacekeeping in the Middle East: What advantages are afforded by U.N. peacekeepers compared with non-U.N. missions? What net benefits are derived from American participation in a non-U.N. multinational operation? And how do they compare to the classic U.N. peacekeeping rationale of insulating disputed areas from super power confrontation? Finally, what determines the success of such operations-geopolitical circumstance or institutional affiliation?
Book Synopsis The UN Peacekeeping Practice in Southern Lebanon by : Susann Hassan Kassem
Download or read book The UN Peacekeeping Practice in Southern Lebanon written by Susann Hassan Kassem and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis examines the activities of the United Nations Interim Force In Lebanon (UNIFIL)--a "peace-keeping" organization--in order to address the dynamics and challenges of this international institution and its work in local communities within a conflict zone. My research focuses on the work of UNIFIL Civil Affairs employees and assesses their relationship to the local population using qualitative analysis of the acceptance or rejection of UNIFIL initiatives, rules, instruments and terms of engagement. UNIFIL was deployed in southern Lebanon in 1978 with the stated objectives "of confirming the withdrawal of Israeli forces, restoring international peace and security and assisting the Government of Lebanon in ensuring its effective authority in the area". Following the July/August war of 2006, the size of the UNIFIL mission was significantly expanded from around 2,000 soldiers to a maximum of 15,000. My study seeks to show the implications of this expansion and to trace the "flows of experts, international organizations, and military personnel" in the area. Extensive field research in the village of Blida reflects upon the perceptions of UNIFIL by ordinary people and community leaders, as well as the regulations of the international mandate in light of Lebanese sovereignty and local self-determination. My investigation reveals that while UNIFIL has faced marked criticism for their conflict management and military activities, their so-called "Quick Impact Projects", investment opportunities and humanitarian assistance designed for the immediate benefit of the local community, have led to a partial acceptance of this sizable foreign battalion from the people of southern Lebanon. By looking at this "peace-keeping" mission in a post-9/11 context, this thesis shows how the objectives and implications the War on Terror influenced the design of this mission at the global level. Regarding the mission of UNIFIL in perspective with military interventions pursued by the "international community" in "states of emergency", this thesis questions this particular institution's conceptualization of "peace." In conclusion this anthropological study on UNIFIL aims to deconstruct often naturalized and depoliticized assumptions about the state of conflict, utilizing a critical approach in order to question the often silently accepted "humanitarian interventions" of the past decades.

Book Synopsis UN Peacekeeping in Lebanon, Somalia and Kosovo by : Ray Murphy
Download or read book UN Peacekeeping in Lebanon, Somalia and Kosovo written by Ray Murphy and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2007-05-10 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The concept of UN peacekeeping has had to evolve and change to meet the challenges of contemporary sources of conflict; consequently, peacekeeping operations have grown rapidly in number and complexity. This book examines a number of issues associated with contemporary multinational peace operations, and seeks to provide insights into the problems that arise in establishing and deploying such forces to meet the challenges of current conflicts. The focus of the book is three case studies (Lebanon, Somalia and Kosovo), involving a comparative analysis of the traditional peacekeeping in Lebanon, the more robust peace enforcement mission in Somalia, and the international administration undertaken on behalf of the international community in Kosovo. The book analyses the lessons that may be learned from these operations in terms of mandates, command and control, use of force and the relevance of international humanitarian and human rights law to such operations.

This book was released on 2012 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present Strategy Research Project (SRP) addresses the mandate, operations, and regional strategic effect of the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL), with a particular focus on the national security of Lebanon. The SRP examines UNIFIL's initial deployment and focuses on its expanded peacekeeping mandate, mission, and operations that took place following the armed conflict between the military wing of Hezbollah and Israeli forces in July-August 2006, and the action of the United Nations Security Council through Resolution 1701. The SRP addresses the collaboration between UNIFIL and the Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF) in safeguarding the peace along the Lebanese-Israeli border and providing domestic stability in South Lebanon. The SRP also analyzes UNIFIL's presence with respect to the national security interests of various regional state actors. The SRP concludes that the strengthening of the LAF capabilities will provide the necessary political parameters for the eventual withdrawal of UNIFIL from Lebanon.
