Violence and racial prejudice in the context of peacekeeping : a study

Summary: "This study examines the issues of peacekeeping, racism and accountability in relation to Operation Deliverance. They are first addressed from a theoretical perspective and then discussed in the context of the actual mission in Somalia, which is divided into three phases: preparation, in-theatre deployment and aftermath of the operation. Recommendations are made on training for peacekeeping on developing policies against racial discrimination and, more particularly, on increasing accountability. The need for an external oversight at the top of the military structure is stressed." --back cover
