	SJIR: Into the Breach: An Analysis of the United Nations Mission in Sierra Leone
		UNAMSIL was not to have an enforcement mandate (which meant that it could not coercively implement the Lome Agreement, but did not exclude the use of force in the execution of UNAMSIL’s mandated duties).
		UNAMSIL’s use of its mandated force in self defense would have sent the message that encroachment on the rights and safety of its troops was not advisable.
		UNAMSIL added a new element to the conflict in Sierra Leone—a requested UN peacekeeping force—but seemingly produced little variation from the pattern of strife, becoming, instead, itself a victim of the violence.

		While UNAMSIL continued to seek a negotiated settlement that would bring the RUF back into the peace process and into the political fold, both the government of Sierra Leone and the UK viewed the military defeat and unconditional disarmament of the RUF as the only solution.
		UNAMSIL deployment remained painfully slow, due to constant troop rotations, the uneven quality of the various national contingents, ubiquitous logistical challenges, and co-ordination problems associated with the sheer massiveness of the UNAMSIL presence.
