UN Peace Support Operations (PSO): Deployment Issues and
Challenges
Seminar Objectives
The main objective of this senior officer seminar is to deepen the knowledge of the participants on
selected United Nations peace support operations deployment issues and challenges at the strategic
level.
More specifically, this seminar will:
•
Describe the roles and functions of the principal UN organizations responsible for
peace support operations, trajectory of UN missions and the institutional contexts in
which mandates are produced;
•
Discuss the mission structure and legal framework;
•
Examine cultural, gender awareness and protection of civilian issues; and
•
Discuss coordination mechanisms, emerging deployment trends and challenges that lie
ahead.
DAY 1 – Evolution of UN Peace Support Operations and the
Mandate Process
1.
Evolution of UN peace support operations from interstate to intrastate conflict:
(Col Bernd Horn)
a. Charter of the UN;
b. “Traditional” Peacekeeping—does not typically play a direct role in political efforts to
resolve the conflict; non-use of force except in self-defence (Chapter VI); typically
military in character. Consent of host countries is required—e.g. Sinai (UNEF);
c.
“Robust” Peacekeeping”—a variant of peacekeeping, it involves the use of force at the
tactical level with the consent of the host authorities (still Chapter VI)—e.g.
Mozambique, Namibia and El Salvador (ONUSAL) missions;
d. Peace Enforcement—it involves the application of a variety of coercive measures,
including the use of military force with the authorization of the Security Council (Chapter
VII and VIII). It ranges from military operations to protect delivery of humanitarian
assistance to enforcement of ceasefires. The Security Council may employ regional
organizations (Chapter VIII) and agencies for enforcement action under its authority.
Consent of one or more parties is not required—e.g. Somalia and former Yugoslavia).
1
e. Peacebuilding—it involves a range of measures aimed at reducing the risk of lapsing or
relapsing into conflict by strengthening national capacities for conflict management and
improving the ability of the State to resume its core functions. Peacebuilding is a long
and complex process that seeks to address deep-rooted structural causes of violent
conflict; and
f.
Multidimensional and Integrated Peacekeeping— typically deployed following a violent
internal conflict. It may utilize a mix of military, police and civilian capabilities as a
response to a request from the national authorities to support the transition to a legitimate
government. The Security Council may authorize a multidimensional peacekeeping
operation to temporarily assume the legislative and administrative functions of the
State—e.g. East Timor, Kosovo.
2.
The Mandate process: (Dr. David Last)
a. Preventive diplomacy (conflict prevention)— timeline sequence of events from the time a
crisis emerges, and the Security Council does or does not pass a Resolution (for
traditional PK within 30 days and for complex operations within 90 days of Mandate
authorization);
b. Assessing the options for UN engagement (Ch.4 of Capstone Doctrine):
c.
•
the conflict in question constitutes a threat to international peace and security;
•
there exists regional support;
•
parties are committed to a peace process and a political settlement;
•
there is a clear political goal that can be reflected in the mandate;
•
a precise mandate for a UN operation can be formulated; and
•
the safety and security of UN personnel can be reasonably ensured;
Aspects of the mission’s negotiation process:
•
UN Secretariat’s role to determine appropriateness of mission;
•
Secretariat holds consultations with Member States, the parties on the ground;
regional actors, and potential contributing countries;
•
Secretary General (SG) may convene Strategic Assessment;
•
Secretariat usually deploys a Technical Assessment Mission (TAM);
•
based on TAM’s recommendations, SG issues report to Security Council; and
•
Security Council passes Resolution authorizing PK deployment, size, and mandate;
2
d.
Provisions of the Mandate:
•
objectives of the mission;
•
role and task for the military force;
•
definition of the desired end state;
•
limitations of a geographical nature;
•
limitations on the duration of the operation—“No exit without strategy”
(S/2001/394);
•
may address the rules of engagement (ROE);
•
observance of Security Council resolutions on women and peace and security [RES
1325 (2000)], on children and armed conflict [RES 1612 (2005)] and on the
protection of civilians in armed conflict [RES 1674 (2006)];
3.
•
mission budget: predictable financing;
•
logistics: joint or cooperative planning; and
•
movement: the deployment and transfer of military contingents.
Legal framework: (Maj Kimberly Maynard)
a. International Court of Justice—its jurisdiction;
b. “Law of Armed Conflict”—the four Geneva Conventions of 1949 and their two
Additional Protocols of 1977;
c. Declaration on the Protection of all Persons from Being Subjected to Torture and Other
Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment—General Assembly resolution
3452 (XXX) 1975);
d. Body of Principles for the Protection of All Persons under Any Form of Detention or
Imprisonment—A/RES/43/173, 1988;
e. Secretary General’s Bulletin ST/SGB/1999/13 on the observance by UN forces of
international humanitarian law;
f.
the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC)—A/RES/44/25, 1989,
and the Optional Protocol to the Convention on the Rights of the Child on the
involvement of children in armed conflict—A/RES/54/263, 2000;
3
g. landmark Security Council resolution S/RES/1612 (2005) on children and war, and
S/RES/1888 (2009) on violence against women and children;
h. landmark Security Council resolution S/RES/1674 (2006) on the protection of civilians;
i.
criminal justice and the laws of participating countries—the balance between peace and
justice and avoiding impunity; and
j.
privileges, immunities and provisions for the protection of deployed peacekeepers—
Status of Forces Agreement, SOFA [A/45/594 (1990)], Status of Mission Agreement
(SOMA), the Safety Convention (A/RES/49/59, 1995), the Optional Protocol
(A/C.6/60/L.11, 2005); HIV/AIDS and death and disability benefits compensation to
peacekeepers [S/RES/1308 (2000), S/REST/2005/33, and A/63/550 (2008) respectively].
