U.N. Peacekeeping: Lessons Learned in Managing Recent Missions (Chapter Report, 12/29/93, GAO/NSIAD-94-9). The U.N. efforts in Cambodia and Somalia have sought to bring peace to nations devastated by civil war. The U.N. operations in these two countries, which involved ambitious objectives and authorized budgets of more than $1 billion, provide excellent case studies in how the U.N. manages peacekeeping. This report examines operational problems with implementing peacekeeping and the importance of clear mandates and a solid political framework for peace. Specifically, GAO (1) describes the results of U.N. efforts in Cambodia through July 1993, (2) studies the U.N.'s capability to manage operations such as those in Cambodia and Somalia, (3) examines peacekeeping command in the field, and (4) examines peacekeeping mandates. --------------------------- Indexing Terms ----------------------------- REPORTNUM: NSIAD-94-9 TITLE: U.N.
