Abstract
The credibility of the UN and of peacekeeping as one of its main instruments of conflict management and of humanitarian intervention to relieve suffering in conflict zones has recently come under increasing attack. This is largely the result of the perceived inadequacy of the organization to deal with the enormous human suffering associated with the post-Cold War conflicts which erupted from 1991, especially those in Somalia, Bosnia and Rwanda.
