United Nations Disarmament Processes in Intra-State Conflict [Hardcover]

During the 1990s the United Nations was called upon to conduct unprecedented peacekeeping and humanitarian operations in order to bring peace to war-torn states. Essential to the resolution of these conflicts was deemed to be the disarmament of the former warring parties. United Nations Disarmament Processes in Intra-State Conflict therefore seeks to identify the most important lessons taught by the UN's experiences in disarmament and constructs an original analytical framework to explain the variation in the UN's success. On this basis Stephen M. Hill proffers recommendations for the UN's present and future disarmament operations.Introduction United Nations Peacekeeping, Disarmament and Conflict Resolution Angola and Cambodia 1990-1993 Mozambique 1992-1994 Somalia 1991-1995 Yugoslavia 1991-1995 El Salvador 1991-1997 Angola 1993-1999 Conclusion BibliographySTEPHEN M.
