Abstract
This study centres around research conducteded on the United Nations
Organisation as well as the principal organ, whose primary responsibility it is, as
empowered by the Charter, in the maintenance of international peace and
security.
It is therefore, against this background that the historical perspective of
the UN Peacekeeping operations is given, with the view to an understanding of
the mechanism of conflict control.
It will also, look at the political and legal considerations in the
establishment of a peacekeeping operation as in the case of Rwanda and the
Former Yugoslavia, which accordingly, have been carefully selected as
representatives of conflicts in Africa and Europe.
Nevertheless, this study aims to look at the various interpretations given
by various peace theologians and the basis for a comparative analysis, in other to
expose the differing role exhibited by the UN Security Council. At the same
time, it will reveal the level of its commitment to world peace and security in the
areas under review.
