    contribution of the UN towards the 20th Century peace and conflict resolution.

    Limitations of the methods or the sources used


    While researching I came to know that the website was not the best research source as I could
    find some unnecessary information .It would also give shallow information and other
    information that was too wide for me to analyze.

    General conclusion of the research

    While conducting the research,I not only found information about United Nations’
    attributes and contribution towards the 20th Century peace and conflict resolutions but also its
    concern about or towards human rights and security and also food 1security .Haivng these
    concerns,it has helped the United Nations in promotion of peace and conflict neutralization
    globally and amongst its member states.

    THE UNITED NATIONS’ CONTRIBUTION TO 20TH CENTURY PEACE AND CONFLICT RESOLUTION
    By Mark Kiptoo

    UN peacekeeping missions operate in the most dangerous and difficult environments in the world, dealing with
    conflicts – or their aftermath – which others cannot or will not address. We can achieve what others can’t, but
    success is never guaranteed.
    We have built up an impressive record of peacekeeping achievements over more than 70 years of our existence,
    including winning the Nobel Peace Prize.

    1
    Since 1948, the UN has helped end conflicts and foster reconciliation by conducting successful peacekeeping
    operations in dozens of countries, including Cambodia, El Salvador, Guatemala, Mozambique, Namibia and

    Tajikistan.

    UN peacekeeping has also made a real difference in other places with recently completed or on-going operations
    such as Sierra Leone, Burundi, Côte d’Ivoire, Timor-Leste, Liberia, Haiti and Kosovo. By providing basic
    security guarantees and responding to crises, these UN operations have supported political transitions and
    helped buttress fragile new state institutions. They have helped countries to close the chapter of conflict and
    open a path to normal development, even if major peacebuilding challenges remain.

    In other instances, however, UN peacekeeping – and the response by the international community as a whole –
    have been challenged and found wanting, for instance in Somalia, Rwanda and the former Yugoslavia in the
    early 1990s. These setbacks provided important lessons for the international community when deciding how
    and when to deploy and support UN peacekeeping as a tool to restore and maintain international peace and
    security.

    What factors are required for success?

    As past experience shows, there are several factors that are essential for a successful peacekeeping operation. It
    must:

    Be guided by the principles of consent, impartiality and the non-use of force except in self-defense and defense of
    the mandate;
    Be perceived as legitimate and credible, particularly in the eyes of the local population;
    Promote national and local ownership of the peace process in the host country.
    Other important factors that help drive success include:

    Genuine commitment to a political process by the parties in working towards peace (there must be a peace to
    keep);
    Clear, credible and achievable mandates, with matching personnel, logistic and financial resources;
    Unity of purpose within the Security Council, with active support to UN operations in the field;
    Host country commitment to unhindered UN operations and freedom of movement;
    Supportive engagement by neighboring countries and regional actors;
    An integrated UN approach, effective coordination with other actors on the ground and good communication
    with host country authorities and population;
    The utmost sensitivity towards the local population and upholding the highest standards of professionalism and
    good conduct (peacekeepers must avoid becoming part of the problem).
