This consolidated response provides an overview of functions most often included in peacekeeping mission mandates after a comparative analysis of Security Council resolutions over the past decade.
Abstract:
United Nations mandates provide the international framework for peacekeeping missions. Since 2000, the Security Council has dramatically increased the scope and breadth of mandates; expanding the activities military peacekeepers engage in on the ground and expanding the civilian component of missions. Peacekeeping missions are now asked to undertake a wide variety of mandated tasks: minimize ongoing conflicts; enforcing peace agreements; laying the foundation for peacebuilding; and supporting the political process. This Consolidated Response looks at the various tasks now mandated to peacekeeping missions and how these tasks are implemented on the ground.
