    Drawing on research conducted as part of a UN sabbatical leave programme, this article seeks to challenge a long-standing understanding of human rights and peace mediation as two distinct and often competing areas of work and expertise at opposite ends. By illustrating how human rights analysis and actors have directly contributed to and facilitated mediation efforts, the article demonstrates the inherent problem-solving nature of human rights by…

  • UN Peace Operations and Security Council Resolutions

    Open AccessKatarina MånssonARTICLENetherlands Quarterly of Human…2008

    This article argues that Security Council resolutions adopted in the context of UN peace operations may be considered a useful instrument by which to assess political acceptance of international human rights law.

    This article examines the use of force with respect to the protection of civilians in peace operations, using MONUC as a case study. By analysing the provisions on the use of force and the importance attached to the human rights situation in the authorizing resolutions of the Security Council, it suggests that the UN is inclined to broaden the concept of use of force when facing a deteriorating human rights situation.

Based on information collected in Kosovo in the spring of 2000, it is found that the human righ…
