Numerous UN military interventions have taken place in the
post-Cold War era. Some stand out as failure: stability efforts did
not succeed and UN forces were often incapable of protecting the
people. Rwanda, Somalia and Bosnia come to mind. These missions
have been well documented, but are such failures representative of
UN military interventions in the post-Cold War era? This question
warrants an assessment of the UN's ability to lead, or in other
words to plan, manage, direct and support military interventions.
This monograph will perform this assessment by determining which
factors really impact the success or failure of post-Cold War
military interventions, and by comparing the ability of the UN to
lead such interventions with that of an international alliance or
coalition. It will be argued that the UN has in fact proven to be
no more or no less effective than international coalitions,
operating under the legitimacy of a UN resolution, in leading
military interventions to success in the post-Cold War era. Only
two factors greatly influence the outcome of any such
interventions: the political will of the international community
and the regional adversaries' interest in achieving a sustainable
peace. Of these two factors, the latter is the dominant variable,
and must be the focus of international efforts when setting the
conditions for mission success.
