  • The UN Mission in Congo and the Basic Principles of Peacekeeping

    The UN Mission in Congo and the Basic Principles of Peacekeeping

    FACULTY OF LAW Stockholm University The UN Mission in Congo and the Basic Principles of Peacekeeping - Revolution or Evolution? Dag Nyström Thesis in Public International Law, 30 HE credits Examiner: David Fisher Stockholm, Spring term 2015 0 Abstract In the absence of a legal basis for peacekeeping operations, the concept has had to evolve from SC practice. This has allowed for the system of collective security to survive the blocking if the Security Council by its permanent members and also permitted for a dynamic approach, facilitating an adequate response to the ever-changing threats to international peace and security. To balance the Member States’ sovereignty and the organisation’s supranational powers, SC practice and doctrine have developed three basic principles of peacekeeping: impartiality, consent and minimum use of force. Since 2013, the UN mission to the Congo, MONUSCO, has been authorised by the SC to use aggressive force against certain rebel groups. This work examines the basic principles as they appear in resolutions and doctrine, and compares them with the mandate of MONUSCO as expressed in SC resolutions. It is concluded that the new SC practice marks a deviation from all three principles. The thesis also finds that it remains to be seen whether the UN mission to the DRC, despite the denial of the organisation itself, will serve as a precedent for future peacekeeping operations.
