The Brahimi Report is an effort by the Secretary-General of the UN to improve the operational capabilities of the UN to conduct peace operations. During the Cold War the UN enjoyed decades of success by conducting small peacekeeping operations that depended on the consent of the belligerents. In the 1990's the UN dramatically expanded its peace operations. These expanded operations occurred without the consent of the belligerents and posed a greater military challenge than the UN could meet. The release of the UN reports on the massacres in Rwanda and the fall of Srebrenica in 1999, as well as the operational difficulties encountered by the four new missions started that year prompted a complete assessment of UN peacekeeping capabilities. The results of that assessment, known as the Brahimi Report, proposed fundamental changes in the practices and the culture of the United Nations. These included better mission planning for peace operations, increasing the size of UN units in the field from battalions to brigades, and developing higher standards for training and equipping of forces before permitting them to deploy to UN missions. Whether the UN adopts it recommendations the Brahimi Report is important to U.S. regional Commanders-in-Chief (CINCs) for two reasons. The success or failure of UN missions is a matter of U.S. significant military interest. The changes recommended by the Brahimi Report provide a strategic buffet of peacetime engagement opportunities with foreign countries. By supporting the recommendations of the Brahimi Report the U.S. CINCs can shape the international community to prepare for an uncertain future and advance U.S. objectives of security, human rights, and democracy.

In March 2000, the United Nations Secretary-General convened an international panel to conduct a major study on United Nations Peace Operations. Chaired by former Algerian Foreign Minister and current Under-Secretary-General, Lakhdar Brahimi, the Panel was tasked to conduct a wide-ranging study and analysis over lessons learned from past operations such as those in Rwanda and Somalia, as well as current missions in Kosovo, East Timor, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The Panel looked at how peacekeeping missions could achieve greater efficiency and success in attaining the key objectives of maintaining peace and promoting reconciliation and reconstruction. It also reviewed the context within which peacekeeping missions took place, the resources and limitations of the United Nations Department of Peacekeeping Operations (DPKO) specifically, and the modality, efficacy, and extent of assistance rendered by the 'international community' within the framework of peacekeeping and peace-building in general. The fifth in a series of conferences organised on lessons learnt from peacekeeping operations was held under the auspices of the United Nations Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR), the Institute of Policy Studies (IPS) of Singapore and the Japan Institute of International Affairs (JIIA). Throughout two intense days in Singapore, in April 2001, an eminent group of academics, government officials, representatives of international organisations, representatives from ongoing UN Missions, and military scholars gathered behind closed doors to reflect upon the recommendations of the Brahimi Report and the obstacles to reform of peacekeeping. This volume contains all the papers presented at that event. It also includes the Co-Chairs' Summary and Recommendations. The Report is a summary of the many animated debates that took place during the conference. Recommendations of the Co-Chairs have been drawn from the broad range of opinions and insights from the conference. The findings and reactions of the participants to the Brahimi Report should give policy-makers, researchers, and international affairs analysts a candid review and critique of past experiences that is essential to the comprehension of the failures of current peacekeeping and requirements for future success.

Since the end of the Cold War, United Nations peace operations have become an established and prominent feature of world politics. From Liberia to East Timor, the UN now carries out extensive governance-related functions and is a significant political force in Southern states and societies. Here Richard Al-Qaq leads us to a radical new understanding of the UN and its role in international politics. He uncovers the political and socio-economic import of such 'peace' activities for subject societies, and raises important questions about the functioning and dynamics of the global political order. A critical view of the internal process of programmatic reform within the UN is elaborated by detailed studies of the politics of UN peace operations in three seminal cases of the 1990s, in Somalia, Rwanda and Angola. This book is essential for understanding the new role of the UN, especially in Africa, and the politics of so-called humanitarian intervention and peace-building.
