About the Speech:
Peacekeeping operations are one of the most visible symbols of the United Nations and to many around the world, peacekeepers are the face of the Organisation. Despite – or perhaps because of – this, questions about the scope and the impact of UN peacekeeping in ending conflict continue to grow. In her speech, Dr. Dwan answered questions about the role of UN peacekeeping and how should success be measured?
