This Book attempts to deduce regulatory standards that can close
the gaps between the Promises made and the Outcomes secured by the
United Nations in relation to its use of force. It explores two
broad questions in this regard: why the contemporary legal
framework relevant to the regulation of force during Armed Conflict
cannot close the gaps between the said Promises and Outcomes and
how the 'Unified Use of Force Rule' formulated herein, achieves
this. This is the first book to coherently analyse the moral as
well as legal aspects relevant to UN use of force. UN peace
operations are rapidly changing. Deployed peacekeepers are now
required to use force in pursuance of numerous objectives such as
self-defence, protecting civilians, and carrying out targeted
offensive operations. As a result, questions about when, where, and
how to use force have now become central to peacekeeping. While UN
peace operations have managed to avoid catastrophes of the
magnitude of Rwanda and Srebrenica for over two decades, crucial
gaps still exist between what the UN promises on the use of force
front, and what it achieves. Current conflict zones such as the
Central African Republic, Eastern Congo, and Mali stand testament
to this. This book searches for answers to these issues and
identifies how an innovative mix of the relevant legal and moral
rules can produce regulatory standards that can allow the UN to
keep their promises. The discussion covers analytical ground that
must be traversed 'behind the scenes' of UN deployment, well before
the first troops set foot on a battlefield. The analysis ultimately
produces a 'Unified Use of Force Rule', that can either be
completely or partially used as a model set of Rules of Engagement
by UN forces. This book will be immensely beneficial to law
students, researchers, academics and practitioners in the fields of
international relations, international law, peacekeeping, and human
rights.
