How much has peacekeeping, peace
enforcement and humanitarian intervention changed since the 1990s?
With the end of the Cold War, ethnic,
leading to human tragedy in the world's various regions, religious and national
conflicts of the outbreak, along with the human rights concept of the second
world war after a universal characteristic gain as a result of events have
emerged to such as peacekeeping, peace enforcement, and humanitarian
interventions. In this context, the establishment
of a number of international organizations. For example; After World War I, to ensure peace and
collective security in the League of Nations was founded. But the lack of
enforcement power of a strong state and society do not want to have the same
rights as their colonial unable to provide peace and caused a larger war. On
the other hand, after World War II, the establishment of international
organizations such as NATO and the United Nations took this case to a different
size. League of Nations, like its predecessors, is not only aimed at peace and
security, obtaining a much more comprehensive content; fundamental human
rights, gender equality, economic and social rights, showed that it may take an
active role in the issue. In this context, the United Nations and NATO, the
most important international organizations are in the maintenance of
international peace.
In order to ensure peace, first side to
peaceful methods-negotiation, inquiry, with suggestions such as refereeing
decisions, but does not bring this solution arises the right to UN intervention.
However, during the cold war,
because of the conflict between the US and the Soviet Union, the UN failed to
fulfill its function. For example; In 1965, Dominican Republic, to protect their
own national interests of the United States to intervene in Latin American and
Caribbean States in the event that the policy is implemented. Detect the threat
of a US attack will be made to any of the territory of the country as a threat
to its own security was defending the idea that the right to intervene to
reverse this situation. US, initially being established in response to its own
citizens to exert their main purpose is to prevent doing to save the life of
the communist regime. On the other hand, the United States for their own
interests, in 1989 was found and seized control of here intervention in Panama.
Nevertheless, the United Nations has remained silent. This also shows us; that
the United Nations can be exploited by powerful actors in the system of
sovereign equality within the framework of the treaty. After the end of the
Cold War, made peaceful solutions and humanitarian interventions has not been
fully successful. It has also been exploited again by powerful actors. In
addition, the intervention of economic and social dimensions were generally
ignored. In this context, while the UN's mission to prevent conflict usually is
not enough to intervene after the conflict ends. For example; in 1993, Rwanda
genocide or in 1995, massacre Bosniaks in Srebrenica. This is a little on the
subject of the relevant situation about UN General Secretary. That duty to
bring the person is supposed to be strictly neutral. But today we look at the
national interest of the state can prevent it. For example; America's invasion
of Iraq, 7. General Secretary of the UN Kofi Annan to move independently of the
UN, such as the US-led movement.
Or genocide in Rwanda as 1 million people died. In such cases the events
need to better analyze. Because
you think that intervention or sanctions apply figured it out but you can cause
more disaster. For example; the UN, When applied to thousands of Bosnian arms
embargo on the Bosnian Serbs killed by severe torture and remained stranded.
However, the blockade should be applied on both sides. In this context, we can
say that the UN made a strategic mistake in order to protect the peace. On the
other hand; the UN in humanitarian intervention economic, political or military
intervention can apply. Provide solutions in a number of economic sanctions and
political interference with military intervention if it is not right to
produce, of course, this is going to harm the state's sovereignty to the fore
because the state sovereignty in international law. In addition, the UN
currently no army. Only the "blue berets" a unit he called the
present. This unit is generally going to the area to appease conflicts. But
when it comes to military intervention, is entering the NATO operation.
Economic costs are generally preferred due to the air strike is cheaper and the
death rate is low. But air strikes are generally more damage can cause death
loss and diplomatic issues. For example; in 1999, Kosovo also made humanitarian
intervention in the explosive thrown because of the air strikes have seen more
harm civilians and cities, with the unconscious intervention as a result of the
Chinese Consulate blown-so China briefly in the US has been a diplomatic
crisis. However, for this type of incident does not happen, the presence of
ground troops in humanitarian intervention is more important to avoid
conflicting parties in both for civilians. But it was too much for the size of
the financial inability remove the economic burden of a majority of the member
states of NATO is very difficult in such a humanitarian intervention
prescriptions. Already safety, security and welfare issues in cost management
and conflict resolution is a long-term investment plays a very important role.
But whatever humanitarian intervention, should be determined by the costs involved
and should be applied in a specific humanitarian purposes.In short,
international law should not be overlooked. Although the state's prison
disposal of war and conflict will judge issuing guilty and sentenced to be
present at the international criminal court. On the other hand; that the member
states of the common interests is important for human intervention. For
example; in Syria, was also a number of attempts to overthrow the Assad regime.
However, this situation is not welcome in Russia and Iran and Syria see this
situation as a matter of intervention in the internal affairs has prevented
humanitarian intervention. However, especially Turkey, Syrian refugees in the
country has taken to many countries for humanitarian aid. Create as in refugee
camps, aimed to make the necessary assistance.
In conclusion; from
the 1990s until today to keep the peace, humanitarian intervention, though
different issues such as implementation and operation result is always the
same. Intermediate with successful results would be more accurate to say that
something not changed much. Solution Instead of producing these international
organizations have failed to save the day go beyond just calms solution. Failed
to produce any solution for later. For Example; Egypt, Libya, Iraq etc. still
has not produced solutions in the country, on the contrary, the system has
always been exploited and abused by powerful actors.
