This book explores the question of whether peacekeeping commanders
can be held accountable for a failure to protect the civilian
population in the mission area. This requires an assessment of
whether peacekeeping commanders have an obligation to act against
such serious crimes being committed under domestic and
international law. The work uses the cases of the Dutch and Belgian
peacekeeping commanders in Srebrenica and Kigali as examples, but
it also places the analysis into the context of contemporary
peacekeeping operations. It unfolds two main arguments. First, it
provides a critical note to the contextual interpretation given to
international law in relation to peacekeeping. It is argued that
establishing a specific paradigm for peacekeeping operations with
clear rules of interpretation and benchmark criteria would benefit
peacekeeping and international law by making the contextual
interpretation of international law redundant. Second, it is held
that alternative options to the existing forms of criminal
responsibility for military commanders should be considered,
possibly focusing more clearly on failing to fulfil a norm of
protection that is specific to peacekeeping and distinct from
protective obligations under international human rights law and
international humanitarian law.
