Europe’s return to UN peacekeeping? Opportunities, challenges and ways ahead – Ireland
This paper argues that Ireland has been a consistent contributor to peacekeeping since 1958 and examines how the nature of Irish participation has evolved. The maintenance of an effective UN forms a key objective of Irish foreign policy within which peacekeeping and a policy of military neutrality have come to play a central role. In 1993, Ireland revised the legal basis for participation. This brought about a fundamental change in policy, after …
War Crimes
War crimes come under the general umbrella of international humanitarian law (IHL), and may be defined as the branch of international law limiting the use of violence in armed conflicts. War crimes constitute serious violations of treaty or customary rules of IHL. The primary aim of IHL is to establish limits to the means and methods of armed conflict, and to protect noncombatants, whether they are wounded, sick, or captured soldiers or civilians…

Prisoners of War
The treatment of prisoners of war (POWs) has been an issue of concern to all those engaged in armed conflict for centuries. The problem of how to deal with POWs is not a new one and their treatment is a question with which the laws of war have been particularly concerned. Not all persons captured in the course of armed conflict are entitled to POW status. Generally, only persons recognized as "combatants" in accordance with international humanita…

An Assessment of UN Efforts to Address Sexual Misconduct by Peacekeeping Personnel
In dealing with the sexual exploitation of women and girls by UN and other personnel operating in post-conflict situations there is a limited amount the UN can do without the cooperation of troop contributing states. Anyone employed by, or affiliated with the UN must be held accountable and, when the circumstances so warrant, prosecuted. This article is a legal analysis and discussion of these problems against the background of the report by the …
Perspectives on Peace Operations and Human Rights
International humanitarian law training for multinational peace support operations
Depuis l'intervention controversée des casques bleus en Somalie (UNOSOM), l'obligation, pour les forces des Nations Unies engagées dans une opération de maintien de la paix, de respecter le droit international humanitaire a fait l'objet de maints débats. L'auteur examine les différentes actions armées entreprises sous l'égide de l'ONU et les mesures prises sur le plan de la préparation des forces engagées au respect des règles essentielles de ce …
UN Peacekeeping in Lebanon and the use of force
A traditional peacekeeping force should not rely on the use of force to achieve its mission. However, when a party to a conflict fails to give the required level of cooperation, a decision must be made regarding what degree of force, if any, may be resorted to in the circumstances. At an early stage in the UNIFIL mission, it was decided that operational effectiveness would be curtailed in order to adhere to the principle of non‐use of force. This…
Ireland, the United Nations and peacekeeping operations
The building and maintenance of a strong and effective UN forms a key objective of Irish foreign policy within which peacekeeping operations have come to play a central role. Ireland's tradition of active membership of the League of Nations and the UN, and the willingness to contribute professional soldiers, assisted in establishing a peacekeeping tradition. Furthermore, the effects of Ireland's policies at the UN, its history under colonial rule…
