DPKO), Office of the Under-Secretary-General (OUSG) (1992- Present Summary of AG-050 Department of Peacekeeping Operations (DPKO), Office of the Under-Secretary-General (OUSG) (1992- present) Title Department of Peacekeeping Operations (DPKO), Office of the Under-Secretary-General (OUSG) (1992-present) Active Dates 1946-2007 Administrative History The Department of Peacekeeping Operations (DPKO) was created in 1992 during the restructuring of the Secretariat initiated by the incoming Secretary-General Boutros Boutros-Ghali. The DPKO was set up to allow the United Nations to have greater institutional capacity to respond to international crises. The Department traces its roots to 1948 with the creation of the first UN peacekeeping operations: UN Truce Supervision Organization (UNTSO) and UN Military Observer Group in India and Pakistan (UNMOGIP). Up to the late 1980s, peacekeeping operations were operated through the UN Office of Special Political Affairs. By the early 1990s, the strategic context for United Nations peacekeeping had evolved from military observation to multidimensional enterprises designed to ensure the implementation of comprehensive peace agreements and to assist in laying foundations for sustainable peace. Peacekeepers’ enlarged scope of activities included helping to build sustainable institutions of governance, human rights monitoring, electoral reform, humanitarian assistance, security sector reform, demining, as well as the disarmament, demobilization and reintegration of former combatants. At its inception in 1992, the functions of the Department of Peacekeeping Operations included: formulating policies and procedures, based on Security Council resolutions and mandates, for the establishment of new peacekeeping operations and the effective functioning of ongoing operations; securing military units and equipment as well as other material and human resources required for peacekeeping operations; developing operational plans and methodologies for multidimensional operations; undertaking contingency planning for peacekeeping operations; and providing logistic and administrative support for the operations in the field. In 1994, the DPKO was reorganized into two sections, the Office of Planning and Support and the Office of Operations. Each section was headed by an Assistant Secretary-General. The Office of Planning and Support was divided into a Planning Division and a Field Administration and Logistics Division (FALD). The Office of Operations was divided into three divisions organized along regional lines: the Africa Division (AD), the Asia and Middle East Division (AMED), and the Europe and Latin America Division (ELAD). The Policy and Analysis Unit and the Situation Centre were created in 1993, and the Lessons Learned Unit was created in 1995. In 2007, under the initiative of Secretary-General Ban Ki- Moon, the Department of Peacekeeping Operations underwent major structural change, and the Department of Field Support (DSF) was created to address shortcomings in mission support, such as logistics, transportation and recruitment. Close interaction between DPKO and DFS is maintained through shared functional and operational areas. As of 2012, the four main offices of the DPKO were the Office of Operations, the Office of the Rule of Law and Security Institutions (established in 2007), the Office of Military Affairs, and the Policy Evaluation and Training Division. The leadership of the Department of Peacekeeping Operations was carried out by Marrack Goulding, who served as Under-Secretary-General for Peacekeeping Operations from June 1992 until February 1993. Kofi Annan served as Assistant Secretary-General for Peacekeeping Operations from June 1992 until March 1993, when he was appointed to succeed Goulding as Under-Secretary-General for Peacekeeping Operations. Annan served as Under-Secretary- General for Peacekeeping Operations until he was appointed Special Envoy of the Secretary-General to the Former Yugoslavia, serving six months in that position (November 1995-April 1996). Ismat Kittani temporarily replaced Kofi Annan as Under-Secretary-General for Peacekeeping Operations during his absence. After returning to DPKO, Mr. Annan served as Under-Secretary-General for Peacekeeping Operations until December 1996. Kofi Annan was succeeded by Bernard Miyet (January 1997-October 2000), Jean-Marie Guéhenno (October 2000-June 2008), Alain Le Roy (June 2008-October 2011), and Hervé Ladsous (October 2011-present). Scope and Content The arrangement and description of AG-050 is based on the “Peacekeeping Headquarters Retention Schedule,” v. 2, August 2011, Department of Peacekeeping Operations (DPKO) and Department of Field Support (DFS). The names of the series comprising AG-050 were drawn from the function series listed in the retention schedule. During archival processing, the files were assigned to series based on their function. Files originating from the offices of the Under- Secretary-General for Peacekeeping and the Assistant Secretary-General for Peacekeeping were kept together and assigned to S-1834. Fonds consists of the following Series: S-1890 Mine Action S-1889 Information Management and Public Information S-1888 Security S-1887 Humanitarian affairs S-1886 Human rights S-1885 Disarmament, demobilization and reintegration S-1884 Law enforcement S-1840 Legal - Legal agreements development and review S-1834 Under-Secretary-General (USG) - Subject files S-1833 Political Affairs - Coordination, partnership - Discussion and negotiation S-1832 Management and Integration - Policy, procedure, best practice S-1831 Military - Planning, strategy - Analysis of current mission capacity S-1830 Military and Political - Planning, strategy - Mission establishment S-1829 Management and Integration - Reporting to United Nations Headquarters S-1828 Military - Policy, procedure, best practice S-1827 Military Collection Inventory S-1827 Military 1964-2006 Scope and Content The title of S-1884 was drawn from the function series that comprise PKH.MIL from the “Peacekeeping Headquarters Retention Schedule,” v. 2, August 2011, Department of Peacekeeping Operations (DPKO) and Department of Field Support (DFS). Many of the files in S-1827 originated from the Office of the Military Adviser of the Department of Peacekeeping Operations. They encompass the Military Adviser’s chronological files, correspondence files, records related to the Military Adviser’s trips, and subject files. Additional records contained in S-1827 relate to military operations of specific peacekeeping missions. The chronological files of the Military Adviser date from 1993 to 1998. The Military Adviser served simultaneously as an adviser to the Secretary-General on current, closing, and future peacekeeping missions through the Under-Secretary- General for Peacekeeping, and as the director of the Military Division of the Department of Peacekeeping Operations. During the years covered by the chronological files, the position of the Military Adviser was held by: Major-General J. Maurice G. Baril of Canada, June 1992 - 23 June 1995 Major-General Franklin E. van Kappen of the Netherlands, 26 June 1995 - 30 June 1998 Lieutenant-General Giulio Fraticelli of Italy, 15 September 1998 - 15 September 2000 The chronological files consist of: analyses, advisory papers, and talking points prepared by the Military Adviser for the Under-Secretary-General for Peacekeeping; military and political briefs prepared for the Military Adviser on trips undertaken to peacekeeping missions; summaries of the Military Adviser’s visits to peacekeeping missions; and summaries of meetings between the Military Adviser and Chiefs of Missions. The chronological files also include: correspondence, notes for the file, and curricula vitae for the Military Adviser’s selection of senior military and Civilian Police personnel; memoranda providing an overview of the deployment strategy of infantry battalions and military units in specific peacekeeping missions; organization charts of the Force structure for specific peacekeeping missions; briefs, reports, and memoranda about provisions for transport equipment to peacekeeping missions, including armoured personnel carriers (APC), helicopters, and patrol boats; correspondence and memoranda related to the creation of United Nations medals for service in peacekeeping missions; and discussion papers about military leadership in peacekeeping missions. Also included in the Military Adviser’s chronological files are agenda and programs related to the training of peacekeeping personnel. Training was conducted through the Department of Peacekeeping Operations (DPKO) Training Unit and through the framework of the Member State sponsored United Nations Training Assistance Team (United Nations Training Assistance Teams (UNTAT) programme. Records are included for training events in such areas as: disarmament; mine clearance; the sustainable reintegration of ex-combatants; medical support and civilian training in peacekeeping missions; disaster preparedness in peacekeeping operations, such as for natural disasters, epidemics, terrorist activity, and industrial disaster; the role of regional and sub-regional organizations in international peacekeeping; peacekeeping in Africa; and international conflict resolution and negotiating skills. There are also program plans and correspondence related to the Department of Peacekeeping Operations (DPKO)’s participation in multinational military exercises as observers, advisors, and role players. In addition, there are briefing materials and programmes prepared for meetings between Department

  • Stabilization Planning in Syria
    THE NEW GEOPOLITICS MARCH 2017 MIDDLE EAST STABILIZATION PLANNING IN SYRIA BRUCE JONES TAMARA COFMAN WITTES SARAH YERKES STABILIZATION PLANNING IN SYRIA BRUCE JONES, TAMARA COFMAN WITTES, AND SARAH YERKES INTRODUCTION Syria is entering its sixth year of debilitating violence at a moment of geopolitical flux. It has been and remains a crucible in the geopolitics of the Middle East; a flash point in great power politics; a source of extraregional instability; and a devastating human tragedy. Sadly, the international response to Syria has dealt with those aspects in that order, rather than prioritizing the human suffering. Most analysts of civil wars believe that the approach to the Syrian civil war most likely to result in a sustained end to bloodshed would have the following elements: increased scale and coherence of Western engagement, in order to enhance Western leverage in negotiations with Russia and Iran; political negotiations that link international, regional, and local actors; the forging of an interim political deal—either a deal that sees President Bashar Assad leave power eventually, or at least one that limits Assad’s ability to execute violence against his opponents; and the installation of transitional institutions that can oversee interim security arrangements (including the disposition of Syria’s armed forces and intelligence agencies) and the beginnings of social reconciliation and economic reconstruction. These will be mammoth tasks, given the scale of devastation, destruction, and distrust. The prospects for such an approach, however, remain dim. Indeed, given the current geopolitical dynamics, we do not believe an equitable negotiated settlement that removes Assad from power is possible.
