SOLLIMS Sampler Volume 6 Issue 4 – Shifts in United Nations Peacekeeping

UN Peacekeeping has recently experienced a number of “firsts” – the return of Europe to peacekeeping in Africa after two decades, an increase in intelligence capabilities in PK missions, the utilization of UAVs, the deployment of a UN ‘offensive’ combat force, and the opening of UN bases to protect civilians.  Missions have also suffered from sexual exploitation and benefited from all-female police units.  This Sampler provides Lessons on these topics in light of the June 2015 HIPPO Report.
