Description

This book assesses the UN Peace Operations in Haiti and establishes what lessons must be taken into account for future operations somewhere else.

Specifically, the book examines the UN’s approaches to security and stability, demobilisation, disarmament and reintegration (DDR), police, justice and prison reform, democratisation, and transitional justice and their interdependencies through the seven UN missions in Haiti. Drawing on extensive fieldwork and interviews conducted in Haiti, it identifies strengths and weaknesses of these approaches and makes a speciality of the connections between these different sectors. It places these efforts within the broader Haitian political context, emphasises economic development as a central factor to sustainability, provides a civil society viewpoint, and discusses the many constraints the UN faced in implementing its mandates. The book also serves as a historical account of UN involvement in Haiti, which comes at a time when the drawdown of the mission has begun. In an environment where the UN is an increasing number of looking for to conduct security sector reform (SSR) inside the context of integrated missions, this book will probably be a valuable contribution to the debate on intervention, UN peace operations and SSR.

This book will probably be of interest to students of peace operations and peacekeeping, conflict studies, security studies and IR basically.
