Montaner Chief of the Defense Staff of Uruguay With great satisfaction for the objective achieved and the work carried out, we are pleased to present to you this institutional publication that we hope will be of interest and useful to our associates and other public who share our interest in capacity building, training and education for peacekeeping operations. This project was conceived at the beginning of our management, considering that the ALCOPAZ Annual Magazine began to be issued in 2015, in order to gather information of interest and research work carried out by the Associates and Collaborators of our Association. In previous editions, the articles presented have had relevant content and were of interest in the regional as well as abroad, achieving meritorious projection and the printed version has been presented in the last five IAPTC Annual Conferences, with editions in Spanish and English languages, which they have been widely accepted by the international public that participates in the "Ideas Bazaar" of these events. Complementarily, we have achieved that since this year, these previous copies are also available in the analog version on the ALCOPAZ Website at http://alcopaz.com/revista-anual.html Within the general framework of action and considering the higher and specific objectives of the ALCOPAZ XII Uruguay 2020 cycle, we proposed to carry out tasks and actions that contribute to t he recognition, revaluation, revitalization and repositioning of the contribution of Latin American countries to peace operations, seeking make this contribution with an academic approach and focus. We have definitely been encouraged by the spirit of obtaining incentives and support to improve the quantity and quality of the contributions made by Lati n American countries to peace operations. The theoretical framework on which this initiative is based is initially composed of the Declaration of Commitments to Peace Operations (A4P - September 2018) which is an initiative of the UN Secretary General urging the Member States, the Security Council, host countries, police and troop -contributing countries, regional partners and financial contributors to renew collective responsibility for peacekeeping and to commit to each other to strive for excellence. This Commitment was signed by 152 Nations and 4 Regional Organizations; 20 American countries are included here. Secondly, we have considered the ALCOPAZ 2019 Statute, the text of which includes Article 2 - Objectives, mentioning as Purposes of the Association: to advise, if required, all States or Organizations on issues related to Peace Operations. In the current year 2020, together with all the Associates and Co llaborators we have managed to conclude this 6th Edition of this publication, obtaining with it a very useful instrument to achieve dissemination of the activities and scope of our Association, which is a very important contribution to the achievement of t he objectives of this cycle, finally we can also consider it as a very important milestone in the history of ALCOPAZ as an institution. 4 There is a variety of publications of different types, origin, format, content, trends, etc. on the subject of Peacekeeping Operations and action in the American countries. Generically, it is appreciated that they are research papers and express opinion, in the form of articles and notes, produced by independent professionals and academics. In the vast majority of these works, no direct link is perceived with the national institutions of our countries, those that in practice carry forward the commitment to contribute human and material resources to peace operations. The experiences collected by the authors in the field of op erations have their share, but at relative levels. The Military and Police Institutions of the countries of our region have a wealth of accumulated and processed experience, which is vast, deep, diverse and timeless, which constitutes a relatively exploited treasure for their own and collective benefit. There are very few official publications that formally present the experiences gathered and lessons to be learned that have been accumulated in more than 70 years of participation in peace operations. On this occasion, ALCOPAZ with its organic components has had all the capacities to carry out the collection and organization of data as well as research work on the preceding historical reality, the present actions and the prospective aiming at the times that f ollow in peace operations, developing these tasks and academic productions with the own approach of each contributing Nation of this region. We have counted on the work of the eleven Full Members and several of collaborating institutions, which have the knowledge and technical resources that contribute to the project, to which was added the experience already obtained in previous editions. Also on this occasion we achieved the participation of five Special Guests, who, having performed outstanding actions at the highest level of authority, command and administration in peace operations, now agreed to share their unique experiences. This has been a new opportunity for association and integration of institutional efforts to obtain quality and transcendental production, which, beyond its own and local use that is conceived, will also favor the international projection of the enterprises of the countries of the region and ALCOPAZ itself. We conclude this message by expressing our deep appreciation and gratitud e to all who, from their respective fields of work and responsibility, have made this realization possible, developing ideas and writing, as well as providing academic and technical support, the sum of which is materialized in this editorial product of great value and utility. We hope to meet your expectations and also encourage them to provide ideas and contributions that allow us to continue evolving. 5 INSTITUTIONAL REVIEW By Colonel (R) Roberto Gil ALCOPAZ Advisor The increase in deployments and the demands that Peace Operations have experienced in an environment of global globalization have generated the need to associate efforts for participation in increasingly complex and challenging missions. For these reasons, different international and regional organizations are currently specializing to support this type of intervention with highly qualified human resources. It is thus intended to contribute to the ultimate goal of these missions, which is to restore and co nsolidate peace in those countries and regions that for various geographical and historical reasons have resulted in serious political or social crises, causing the dismantling of their institutionalism, and therefore the need for intervention by the international community to protect people's lives. Once the true roots of the conflicts have been determined, these missions act together with the local and regional authorities, trying to establish the essential conditions to achieve and maintain a lasting peace. Latin American countries that contribute personnel and resources to the

    Appendix I: All UN Peacekeeping Mandates, 1948-2016 Appendix I lists all new mandates for UN peace operations issued per year categorized by Chapter of the UN Charter invoked in the mandate. There are three lists in this appendix: Chapter VI mandates, Chapter VII mandates, and mandates that shifted between Chapter VI and Chapter VII. Missions are listed chronologically and recorded in each category in which they received a mandate. A mission that shifts mandates will therefore appear on all three lists. 1 Appendix I: All UN Peacekeeping Mandates, 1948-2016 Table 1: Chapter VI Mandates (year indicates authorization of mission) Truce Supervision Organization (UNTSO) (1948) Military Observer Group in India and Pakistan (UNMOGIP) (1949) Emergency Force I (UNEF I) (1956) Observation Group in Lebanon (UNOGIL) (1958) Security Force in West New Guinea (NSF) (1962) Yemen Observation Mission (UNYOM) (1963) Mission of the SG's Representative in the Dominican Republic (DOMREP) (1965) India-Pakistan Observation Mission (UNIPOM) (1965) Emergency Force II (UNEF II) (1973) Disengagement Observer Force (UNDOF) (1974) Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) (1978) Good Offices Mission in Afghanistan and Pakistan (UNGOMAP) (1988) Iran-Iraq Military Observer Group (UNIIMOG) (1988) Angola Verification Mission I (UNAVEM I) (1989) Transition Assistance Group (UNTAG) (1989) Observer Group in Central America (ONUCA) (1989) Mission for the Referendum in Western Sahara (MINURSO) (1991) Angola Verification Mission II (UNAVEM II) (1991) Angola Verification Mission III

ANA MARÍA BUSTOS CUENCA, ECUADOR 1 I would like to express my gratitude to God, to my family for their love, support, and generosity. To my friends Paola, Priscila, Daniela and Katheryn, to the University of Azuay. To all my teachers who have made this work possible, specially to Mst. Ana Maria Bustos who has guided me expertly and patiently during the process of studying this career. 2 I would like to dedicate this work to my family, my dad Rodrigo (my hero); my mom Blanquita (my role model) and, my sisters who have always wondered why I have to study. With this work, I show them that a person never knows enough to stop learning, and also that people can get everything they want only with determination and a lot of effort. 3 Abstract Haiti, has always been present in the international sphere in particular because of the numerous humanitarian aid from which it has benefited for its cause, the consequences of natural disasters and, among other things, the internal situations that have prevented this Caribbean country from re-emerging its agonizing situation This work aims to highlight the contributions of the Peace Missions commanded by the United Nations, and their impact to restore order and international security. In turn, numerical data are also presented that allow us to verify the Ecuadorian participation to achieve the aforementioned purpose.

    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.

The 16 men Colombia represented a miniscule economy of force for the 1.4 million-man U.S. Army in 1967 that was fighting in South Vietnam and which was the Ecuador bulk of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) forces defending Europe against the Soviet-led Warsaw Pact. In stark contrast was the Bolivian Army, a 15,000-man force of ill-trained conscripts with out-moded equipment, threatened by Brazil an insurgency. This friendly order of battle article will Peru look at the United States Army forces, in particular those units and missions supporting the U.S. strategy in Latin Bolivia America. It will then examine the Bolivian Armed Forces after the 1952 Revolution and the state of the Bolivian Army Chile when MAJ Shelton and his team arrived to train the 2nd Ranger Paraguay Battalion. It was clearly a case of the “Haves and Have-nots.” The United States Army of 1967 was a formidable force of thirteen infantry divisions, four armored divisions, one cavalry division, four separate infantry brigades, and an armored cavalry regiment.1 In the Argentina Continental United States (CONUS) were two divisions (the 82nd Airborne and the 2nd Armored Division).

Conscription is an ideal fulcrum for understanding the changing balance between state and society because it was central to their relationship during this period. The lens of military service thus alters our understandings of methods of rule, practices of authority, and ideas about citizenship in and belonging to the Bolivian nation. In eliminating the possibility of purchasing replacements and exemptions for tribute-paying Indians, Liberals brought into the barracks both literate men who were formal citizens and the non-citizens who made up the vast majority of the population.
