United Nations Truce Supervision Organization Role, Relevance, Function, and Utility – Lessons for Future Peace Operations
The aim of the study is, firstly, to assess the role, relevance, function, and utility of UNTSO, and secondly, to identify what lessons can be learnt from UNTSO’s model and experience that can help to inform the future of UN peace operations in the context of the UN Secretary-General’s policy brief on a New Agenda for Peace, as well as in the preparations for the Summit of the Future. The effectiveness of peace operations is dependent on the political backing, financial support, and deployment of trained peacekeepers by the UN Member States. While recognising the important roles of the UN missions, the UN Secretariat, host states, and other key stakeholders and contributors, the primary audience for the present study’s findings and recommendations is the UN Security Council and UN Member States. Although the study is primarily focused on UN peace operations, it is suggested that the findings can also be informative for strengthening the role of observers in other organisations, including regional organisations, and can enhance cooperation between different organisations in dealing with peace and security issues. As outlined in Our Common Agenda, an emerging “networked multilateral system” requires enhanced and specialised capabilities, and broader thinking for wider application and cooperation beyond the immediate organisation and structure of current peace operations.

Vi forstår ikke verden ved å dele den inn i Vesten mot resten
I denne kronikken skriver Minda Holm om debatter om ‘verdensorden’ i krise, og hvordan disse begrepene er tett vevd inn i ideologiske verdivurderinger. Generelt er vi på vei inn i verden der det vil være betydelig mer omstridt hvem som besitter normativ autoritet: Det er mer uklart hvilke verdier som gjelder, hvem som har troverdighet, og hvorfor det betyr noe. Gaza har vært en grotesk påminnelse om at den normative verdikrisen også er vestens skyld.
