In an increasingly complex world, it is more crucial than ever to
have a full picture of how international peacekeeping can be a
force for good, but can also have potentially negative impacts on
host communities. After thirteen years of presence in Haiti, the
highly controversial United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti
has now withdrawn. The UN's legacy in Haiti is not all negative,
but it does include sexual scandals, the divisive use of force to
'clean up' difficult neighbourhoods as well as a cholera epidemic,
brought inadvertently by Nepalese peacekeepers that killed more
than 8,000 Haitians and infected more than 600,000. This book
presents a unique multi-disciplinary analysis of the legacy of the
mission for Haiti. It presents an innovative account of
contemporary international peacekeeping law and practice, arguing
for a new model of accountability, going beyond the outdated
immunity mechanisms to foreground human rights.
