The fiftieth anniversary of the foundation of the United Nations was commemorated in 1995 with a number of conferences and publications which assessed the history and contemporary role of this paramount international organization. This book is the result of a meeting of scholars and specialists who wished to further understanding of the challenges faced by the United Nations in its efforts to intervene in post cold war conflict. Its particular focii are the UN experiences in Bosnia, Somalia and Rwanda, where peacekeepers seemed powerless to act in the face of genocide and gross violations of human rights.
