This edited volume provides a detailed and nuanced analysis of UN
peacekeeping and the use of force, to inform a better understanding
of the complex and interconnected issues at stake for the UN
community. Peacekeeping is traditionally viewed as a largely
passive military activity, governed by the principles of
impartiality, consent, and the minimum use of force. Today, most
large UN Peacekeeping Operations are only authorized to use force
in defence of their mandates and to protect civilians under
imminent threat of physical violence. Recently, with the deployment
of the Force Intervention Brigade in the DRC, the UN has gone
beyond peacekeeping and into the realm of peace-enforcement. These
developments have brought to the fore questions regarding the use
of force in the context of peacekeeping. The key questions
addressed in this book examine not only the utility of force, but
also the dilemmas and constraints inherent to the purposive use of
force at a strategic, operational and tactical level. Should UN
peacekeepers exercise military initiative? Is UN peacekeeping
capable of undertaking offensive military operations? If so, then
under what circumstances should peacekeepers use force? How should
force be wielded? And against whom? With chapters written by
experts in the field, this comprehensive volume will be of great
use and interest to postgraduate students, academics and experts in
international security, the UN, peacekeeping and diplomacy.
