Abstract
'Keeping Peace in a Dying Continent: How the UN Should Improve its Peacekeeping Operations in Burundi, Liberia, and Sudan' is a paper which analyzes 3 nations that host United Nations Peacekeeping Operations (Burundi, Liberia, and Sudan) in order to assess how the UN can help quell the widespread human rights violations in these nations and the African continent in general. The candidate asks the question, 'How should the UN act in order to ensure peace, stability, and human rights in Burundi, Sudan, and Liberia??
After researching and discussing the chaotic political realities of Burundi, Liberia, and Sudan in relation to United Nations peacekeeping operations, this paper suggests that there are 3 key criteria that Peacekeeping Operations must meet to ensure peace, stability, and human rights in Burundi, Sudan, and Liberia. These factors include political support, rapid and hard hitting deployment, and sound planning. After this general set of requirements is established, the candidate analyzes specifically how the requirements can be met. If they cannot be met, an explanation is provided. Most prominently, the paper cites the need for teamwork between the UN Member nations, the African nations, and the world.
The paper makes the dismal conclusion that the citizens of the world powers do not, in the status quo, know or care enough about Africa to rally, and act decisively through the UN to end the disgusting human rights violations in areas like the Sudan, and that due to the magnitude of inner turmoil within these nations, things are unlikely to improve by themselves.
