Abstract
This work focuses on the role of the United Nations in the
area of Peacekeeping Operations. The work beings with a
discussion of the emergence of the UN itself, its purposes and
principles as well as its charter, which all centred on the
maintenance of World Peace and Security. The research then
examines the general causes of war as well as the remote and
immediate causes of the Somali Crises.
Using the UN intervention in the Somali crises (UNOSOM),
the work summarises the bitter experience of the UN troops in
their peacekeeping endeavours.
In line with that particular experience the work highlighted
the reasons for that failure and attempted to suggest ways of
preventing future occurances.
