Peacekeeping Reform:
- Brahimi Report (2000) called for:
o Robust doctrine, realistic mandates PKOs that understand what they can do and are
willing to take actions to protect civilians
o Traditional missions in 30 days, complex ones within 90
o Encourage UN members to organize multinational, brigade-sized forces; more use of
professioal lists, o all ad pools
o Strengthen HQ and DPKO capacities for mission planning and management
o Possible interim legal code for use by transnational administrations
Ex. Namibia post-colonialism
- “G report o Peaekeepig  6
o Improved institutional learning, doctrine, and cooperation
o Learn from previous peacekeeping missions this is difficult because no missions ever
hae the sae staff ad are usuall ade up of people fro differet outries so it’s
hard to share learning
- Department of Field Support (2007)
- High-level Independent Panel on UN Peace Operations (2014-15)
o Four essential shifts:
Politics must drive design of peace operations
Full spetru peae operatios respose
Stronger security partnerships
UN Secretariat must be more field-focused
o New Approaches
Conflict prevention and mediation brought to fore

Greater clarity on use of force (threats to impartiality) more robust missions
when peacekeepers use force makes it complicated to not get sucked into the
civil war. What does neutrality mean in this context?
Political vigilance needed to preserve peace
