1 + Final Ideas/Test Prep

2 + 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?

3 + Evolution of Peacekeeping UN/NATO peacemaking missions Green helmets, green tanks, able to enforce peace Bosnia IFOR/NATO (1995-96) Kosovo KFOR/NATO (1996-98) Rwanda (1994) Afghanistan/NATO (2001) Is this peacekeeping?

4 + 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.
