		In this year, which marks fifty years since the first UN peacekeeping operation and ten years since the award to UN peacekeepers of the Nobel Prize for Peace, a predominant concern of the IPA seminar was the discrepancy between the conceptual and the operational aspects of peace operations.
		The partnership between the UN and regional organizations is covered by Chapter VIII of the Charter and it is clear that the drafters envisaged a relationship based in part on the principle of subsidiarity, particularly in terms of the pacific settlement of local disputes.
		The crisis at the UN has resulted in a trend towards the regionalization of peace operations, with actors other than the UN seizing the initiative and the responsibility for peacemaking, peacekeeping and perhaps peacebuilding, with consequences that are neither always desirable and nor totally predictable.

		Before the war, Eastern Slavonia was among the richest areas in Yugoslavia, largely due to the highly fertile agricultural land in Baranja and East Slavonia.
		The fighting in Eastern Slavonia was among the worst in Croatia during the Balkan War and damaged or destroyed much of the area's infrastructure, with direct war damage at over $2 billion, according to Government estimates.
		Cleaning of the drainage canals in the Baranja is necessary to prevent flooding and waterlogging of the agricultural lands.

		This thesis examined the UN Transitional Administration for Eastern Slavonia, Baranja, and Western Sirmium (UNTAES) to assess the mission’s achievements and determine the importance of grassroots issues in transitional missions and their impact on the probability of long-term success.
		The cases were analyzed against four variables— tertiary issues, enforcement of UN mandates, methods of response, and mission conclusions—with an eye toward determining whether different geopolitical realities—the Cold War for Korea, post-Cold War era for Iraq/Kuwait, or post-September 11, 2001 war on terrorism for US/UK versus Iraq—affected policy debate and formulation at the UN.
		This study sought to determine whether the 1999 United Nations announcement that all UN peacekeepers would be subject to the principles and rules of international humanitarian law and the Geneva Conventions had the desired effect of decreasing violations by peacekeepers.

		The UN is short of legal staff as well as skilled translators urgently needed for the legislative reform process.
		In the words of one senior official, the deployment of UN civil administration staff "isn't anywhere near what is needed.(38)" Financial constraints add to the difficulties, as UNMIK lacks adequate funding for the mechanisms and institutions it is establishing, including the justice system.
		UN member states should significantly increase their financial contributions to UNMIK, to cover the costs of administering Kosovo's new institutions as well as those of the mission.

		ABSTRACT: The article examines the three current international transitional civil administrations in Bosnia, the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and East Timor, as well as the former United Nations (UN) transitional Administration in Eastern Slavonia, Baranja and Western Sirmium in Croatia.
		It is argued that transitional civil administrations are more likely to achieve political legitimacy, nationally and internationally, as well as in the long terms, if the states involved base their peacebuilding work on international legal standards and norms.
		Peacebuilding was defined by UN Secretary-General in 1997 as 'the various concurrent and integrated actions undertaken at the end of a conflict to consolidate peace and prevent a recurrence of armed confrontation', or, putting it differently, the achievement of peace with sufficient justice, reconciliation and development in the state concerned.

		In the transitional period, few issues are subject to debate in public fora and legislation tends to be rushed through in a way that does not permit meaningful discussion and evaluation.
		While the right of self-determination is recognised as one of the most fundamental rules of international law,[183] the questions of whether national liberation forces are entitled to use force to exercise their right of self-determination and whether international humanitarian law applies to this use of force have been controversial.
		A provision enabling the Transitional Administrator to issue guidance to the General Prosecutor in ‘matters of legal policy and coherence’[218] has the potential to be abused.
