  • The Protection of Children in Peacemaking and Peacekeeping Processes
    The Protection of Children in Peacemaking and Peacekeeping Processes Ilene Cohn* I. BACKGROUND AND INTRODUCTION Despite increased international attention to and awareness of children's rights, children are largely overlooked in the peacemaking and peacekeeping process. Rules of engagement for peacekeepers disregard children, and re- construction and reconciliation programs that emerge from negotiations ignore the differential impact on and particular needs of children. The effect is to marginalize persistent problems like the rehabilitation and reintegra- tion of child soldiers and, more broadly, to miss the opportunity to address widespread systemic problems common to war-torn societies. Children suffer disproportionately in war, and they benefit disproportion- ately less in peace. The international community has recognized the deficiency of the international bill of rights in addressing specific classes of injustice or the status of entire groups of persons, and it has acknowledged the need for programmatic tools to address the special needs of vulnerable communities. The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC), to which I refer throughout as a guidepost for children-oriented initiatives, is the most widely ratified human rights treaty and obliges States to take positive measures to ensure the protection of children's rights both in peace and in war.1 A similar approach is both warranted and reasonable in peace proc- * Program Officer, Office of the Special Representative of the Secretary-General for Children and Armed Conflict, United Nations. Visiting Fellow, Harvard Law School Human Rights Program (1997- 1999). I would like to express special thanks to Peter Rosenblum for his encouragement, advice and edito- rial wisdom, and to the Harvard Human Rights Program for offering me an environment so conducive to research and writing.

  • United Nations Political Missions – Report of the Secretary-General
    UNITED NATIONS POLITICAL MISSIONS REPORT OF THE SECRETARY-GENERAL UNITED NATIONS POLITICAL MISSIONS UNITED NATIONS POLITICAL MISSIONS: REPORT OF THE SECRETARY-GENERAL Summary This report is submitted pursuant to resolution 67/123, whereby the General Assembly requested the Secretary-General “to submit a report on the overall policy matters pertaining to special political mis- sions, including their evolution, trends, as well as their role in the activities of the Organization relating to the maintenance of international peace and security and to make recommendations to increase their overall transparency and effectiveness”. Contents I. Introduction . 2 II. Historical evolution of special political missions . 3 III. The present role of special political missions in the peace and security activities of the Organization . 7 IV. Key policy issues and challenges . 16 V. Recommendations to improve transparency and effectiveness . 24 Annex . 26 1 REPORT OF THE SECRETARY-GENERAL I. INTRODUCTION 1. At the heart of conflict, more often than not, are political issues. It should come as no surprise, therefore, that political missions have been at the very centre of United Nations efforts to maintain international peace and security since the establishment of the Organization. From the deploy- ment of Count Folke Bernadotte to the Middle East in 1948 to the establishment of the United Nations Assistance Mission in Somalia in 2013, political missions have, in different forms, played a vital role in conflict prevention, peacemaking and peacebuilding.

  • The Efficacy of Peacekeeping 1
    BABCOCK: THE EFFICACY OF PEACEKEEPING 79 The Efficacy of Peacekeeping 1 Sandy Babcock Director General Operational Research Department of National Defence, Canada Canadian Forces Experimentation Centre National Defence Headquarters Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. e-mail: [email protected], [email protected] Sandy Babcock is pursuing his Ph.D. in history at Carleton University, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. His doctoral thesis relates to the impact of professionalism on the Royal Canadian Air Force, 1945-1964. He recently retired from the Canadian Forces after a 29-year career and began a second career conducting operational research for the Canadian Department of National Defence. His current employment is with the Canadian Forces Experimentation Centre, where he is the acting team leader responsible for the identification and development of future concepts. ABSTRACT This study seeks to assess the efficacy of United Nations peacekeeping missions. Using qualitative analysis to categorize these missions as successful, partially successful or unsuccessful, the location, timing, duration, size, interstate versus intrastate peacekeeping, and peacekeeper density of missions are then examined against the level of success encountered. The results of this study suggest that some of these factors do provide limited indications of the chances for mission success. INTRODUCTION For more than 50 years, United Nations (UN) peacekeeping missions have been one of the cornerstones of international efforts to restore or support governance and stability. Since

  • MEDALS of the IRISH DEFENCE FORCES MEDALS of the IRISH DEFENCE FORCES
    Óglaigh na hÉireann MEDALS OF THE IRISH DEFENCE FORCES MEDALS OF THE IRISH DEFENCE FORCES 1st Edition (October 2010) CONTENTS SECTION TITLE PAGE No. Irish Defence Forces Medals 7 - 26 UN Medals 27 - 67 EU Medals 69 - 80 UN Mandated Medals 81 - 90 War of Independence Medals 91 - 96 Wearing of Medals 97 - 105 Index 106 - 107 Acknowledgements and References 108 INTRODUCTION The award of medals for services rendered is generally associated with the military. Military medals are bestowed in recognition of specific acts or service which can vary in significance from routine duty to bravery and valour. Irrespective of their provenance, military medals are highly valued and are regarded as representing all that is best in the field of human endeavour. They are seen as being earned and merited by the recipient and in the Defence Forces this sense of worth is enhanced by the strict conditions attaching to the awards. Medals in the Defence Forces fall into two broad categories: medals awarded by the Minister for Defence on the recommendation of the Chief of Staff and medals awarded to qualifying personnel for service overseas on Government approved missions. The first category comprises the Military Medal for Gallantry and the Distinguished Service Medal, which can be awarded for acts of bravery, gallantry, courage, leadership or devotion to duty and the Military Star, a posthumous decoration awardable to personnel killed as a direct result of hostile action. These medals may only be awarded following rigorous investigation by a board of officers appointed by the Chief of Staff. Also in this category are the Service Medal, which recognises service in the Defence Forces for a minimum fixed period and the United Nations Peacekeepers Medal, which recognises service overseas with a UN mandated mission.
