+ Evolution of Peacekeeping UN peacekeeping missions: Soldiers in blue helmets and white vehicles Non-aggressive Suez UNEF (1956-67) Cyprus UNFICYP (1964-94) Yugoslavia UNPROFOR (1992-95) Ineffective, unable to protect civilians, a failure?

+ Evolution of Peacekeeping: Key points Passive peacekeeping becomes active peacemaking beginning in Yugoslavia NATO forces as opposed to UN forces Different implication A fighting force versus an observer force Keep in mind, these are the SAME soldiers Why didn’t Canada enter the Iraq war like other NATO countries (USA/UK)? It was NOT UN sanctioned (allowed)
5
+ League of Nations vs United Nations intervention League of Nations failed to do anything in Manchuria or Abyssinia (Ethiopia) United Nations dealt with the conflict in North Korea in a very different way Allowed a US General to organize a force and fight back against the aggressor Canada sent 26,000 troops to Korea Key Idea: The United Nations accomplished in Korea what the League of Nations never would have done.
