  Peacekeeping - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Peacekeepers could be called in when the major international powers tasked the UN with bringing closure to conflicts threatening regional stability and international peace and security, including a number of so-called “proxy wars” waged by client states of the superpowers.
The failures—most notably the 1995 massacre in Srebrenica (Bosnia and Herzegovina) and the 1994 genocide in Rwanda—led to a period of retrenchment and self-examination in UN peacekeeping.
Some critics have argued that peacekeeping is a return to the paternalistic ideals of colonialism's "white man's burden", citing the UN Charter's call for a global village and adoption of notions employed by the west as tactics to justify intervention throughout the globe for the purpose of "keeping the peace".

Internal problems with UN peacekeeping operations have been isolated by the media, as was the case in the Congo, where UN peacekeepers were confirmed to have committed crimes of sexual abuse and dehumanization toward victims and other civilians in the surrounding area.

 Ambassador Holbrooke Remarks on UN Peacekeeping
This is a time when UN peacekeeping is challenged as it has not been before and the demand for peacekeeping is outpacing capacity and resources, as the Brahimi report has made clear.
But once a peacekeeping operation is in place -- which is what the proper subject of today's discussion is -- deciding what conditions are necessary for scaling it down - in other words, an "exit strategy" -- should be a vital part of any peacekeeping mission.
We think peacekeeping is of vital importance to the world; the UN has an important role but not an exclusive one in peacekeeping and these are examples of successes.
