To this end we have developed certain suggestions which we are willing to explore on the understanding that any agreement on the future must involve the settlement in some manner of Soviet arrears for past peacekeeping operations. (a) How can the position of the Security Council be strengthened in relation to the General Assembly so far as peacekeeping operations are concerned? It is our thought that it might be established for the future that all proposals to initiate major peacekeeping operations would be considered and acted on first in the Security Council -- they would be passed on to the General Assembly only if the Security Council demonstrated that it was unable to take action. (b) How can the countries having the greatest responsibilities and making the greatest contributions -- particularly the permanent members of the Security Council — be given a greater voice in the financing of peacekeeping operations? We suggest the following approach: 1. A Peacekeeping Finance Committee would be established by the General Assembly which would include the permanent members of the Security Council and be weighted generally in favor of the larger contributors. The Peacekeeping Finance Committee would be constituted under a firm General Assembly rule of procedure. 2. The General Assembly would arrange to act only on the recommendations of a two-thirds majority of the Peacekeeping Finance Committee when apportioning expenses of future major peacekeeping operations. 3« If a major peacekeeping operation has been authorized by the Security Council or General Assembly, the Secretary General would be authorized to commit only up to two million dollars (which is the limit of his present authority without the concurrence of the Advisory Committee on Administrative and Budgetary Questions) in order to finance the first stage of the operation. Expenses above this initial amount would be authorized only in accordance with the arrangements mentioned in paragraph (2) above. PERSONAL AND CONFIDENTIAL - 2 - k. In apportioning expenses for future major peacekeeping operations, the Peacekeeping Finance Committee would consider a number of alternative approaches including such financing plans (for example a special scale of assessments) as might be formulated in the Working Group of 21 this Spring. Such a special scale would be available as one of the alternative methods to be recommended by the Peacekeeping Finance Committee for the apportionment of the expenses of large peacekeeping operations. (c) What should the attitude of the General Assembly be in the future; with respect to a permanent member of the Security Council, in regard to the financing of a particular peacekeeping operation undertaken by the Assembly over the strong political objections of that permanent member? This question involves the practical political reality that the majority of the United Nations membership clearly will insist that it can commence and arrange for the financing of a peace- keeping operation if the Security Council is unable to act. The question also involves the collective financial responsibility of the entire membership for actions approved by a principal United Nations organ such as the General Assembly. Here there is a need for some accommodation between the opposing views which have been stated on many occasions in the past. We have developed some tentative views on the possibility of such an accommodation and will be glad to discuss them with the Soviet Union if the latter is interested in the total approach to this problem which we have outlined. One possibility would be an arrangement under which the Peacekeeping Finance Committee and the General Assembly might take into account the position of a permanent member of the Security Council which had fundamental political objections to a particular peacekeeping operation undertaken by the Assembly, and might decide not to assess that permanent member beyond the point that the cost becomes really substantial.

Hewitt and Mrs Ruth Kane Hewitt The way of arms and arts as the way of the warrior is a constant precept that needs no detailing. Keep arts at your left side, arms by your right, the two must complement each other, without one the other can not be. Hojo Code The Martello Papers This is the eighteenth in a series of security studies published over the past several years by the Queen’s University Centre for International Relations (QCIR), under the general title of the Martello Papers. “From Ottawa to Sarajevo” is a detailed, empirical examination of Canadian participation in UN peacekeeping efforts in the former Yugoslavia between 1992 and 1995, written by a US Air Force officer, Major Dawn Hewitt, who served as Visiting Defence Fellow at the Centre during the 1996-97 academic year. Peacekeeping, by all accounts, has become increasingly complex since the end- ing of the Cold War, and as Major Hewitt’s monograph reveals, nowhere have those complexities and frustrations been more apparent than in the former Yugo- slavia.

    Fra Krig og Fred Dansk Militærhistorisk Kommissions Tidsskrift Nummer 2014/2 Artikel: Den danske FN-bataljon i den ikke-anerkendte stat Republika Srpska Krajina, 1992-1995 Forfatter: Jakob Brink Rasmussen © Center for Militærhistorie, Forsvarsakademiet Søgeord: Fredsbevaring; FN; Jugoslavien; UNPROFOR; UNCRO; DANBAT; Kroatien; Krigshistorie. Resumé: Artiklen beskriver og analyserer en dansk FN-styrkes erfaringer med fredsbevarende operationer i forbindelse med Kroatiens løsrivelse fra det tidligere Jugoslavien. Den følger de næste års konflikt med de etniske serbere, som i perioden 1992-1995 forsøgte at opbygge og fastholde deres egen stat i Kroatien. Artiklen viser hvordan bataljonen dagligt kom i klemme mellem på den ene side FN’s Sikkerhedsråds mange resolutioner og på den anden side en lokal virkelighed, der gjorde den fredsbevarende indsats særdeles vanskelig. Artiklen konkluderer, at serbernes forsøg på at opretholde deres ikke anerkendte stat Republika Sprska Krajina var af afgørende betydning for bataljonens opfattelse og udførelse af sin opgave. Jakob Brink Rasmussen Den danske FN-bataljon i den ikke-anerkendte stat Republika Srpska Krajina, 1992-1995 Introduktion Som det bemærkes i oversigtsværket Danmarks Krigshistorie fra 2010, er dansk historisk forskningslitteratur om Danmarks rolle i 1990’ernes FN-operationer i Ju- goslavien generelt meget begrænset.1 Særligt det danske forsvars tilstedeværelse i Kroatien synes i høj grad at være overset af den historiske faglitteratur. Dette har ledt Robert Petersen til at navngive den danske bataljons tilstedeværelse i Kroatien “den glemte front”.2 Den manglende opmærksomhed vækker undren, idet det dan- ske engagement i Kroatien var langt mere omfattende end i for eksempel Bosnien- Herzegovina3 og Makedonien – både hvad angår antallet af indsatte soldater og danske tab.
