"With No Peace to Keep..." is a comprehensive report on the United Nations mission in the former Yugoslavia, the largest and most ambitious peacekeeping operation in the history of the world organization. Twenty one contributions written by international analysts and experts examine the key issues which have confronted the UN Peace Forces since their deployment in 1992.
Ex-State Department lawyers Paul Williams and Michael Scharf explain the drafting and implementation of the UN mandates in former Yugoslavia; eminent historian Noel Malcolm looks at the twists and turns of international diplomacy; Pulitzer-prize winning author Roy Gutman exposes the UN's failure to observe the Geneva Conventions; and Polish writer Konstanty Gebert looks back on the troubled mission of UN Special Human Rights Reporter, Tadeusz Mazowiecki. A number of prominent journalists are also featured, including Rosemary Righter of The Times in London, who traces the uneasy relationship between the UN and NATO, and Ed Vulliamy of The Guardian, who gives a blow-by-blow account of the critical period in the summer of 1995, when NATO airstrikes signaled the beginning of a new phase of peace enforcement. Analysts from the region look at the role of the UN Peace Forces in Bosnia-Hercegovina, Croatia, Macedonia and Serbia, while foreign policy experts from several countries assess national policies towards the war in the United States, Britain, France and Russia, and weigh up the successes and failures of the tasks undertaken by the UN and its subsidiary organizations in the former Yugoslavia. "With No Peace to Keep.." provides a detailed examination of the conditions which led to the formation of the NATO-led peace implementation force (IFOR), and is essential reading for anyone wanting to make sense of the international community's approach to the Balkan conflict.
