United Nations Protection Force - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The United Nations Protection Force, UNPROFOR, were the primary UN peacekeeping troops in Croatia and in Bosnia and Herzegovina during the Yugoslav wars. On 20th December 1995 the forces of the UNPROFOR were reflagged under the NATO led Implementation Force (IFOR) whose task was to implement the General Framework Agreement for Peace in Bosnia and Herzegovina (GFAP - otherwise known as the Dayton Accords or Dayton Agreement). Bosnian forces increasingly used the Safe Areas as bases to launch attacks against the Serbs, which infuriated the Serbs, and explains the obstruction by General Mladić against protective measures for the "Safe Areas" [3]. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/UNPROFOR   (3453 words)

Security Council Endorses Creation of Trust Fund to Support UN Protection Force in Iraq In that letter, the Permanent Representative informed the President that the member States of the European Union were ready to contribute approximately $12 million to finance the “middle ring” of the United Nations protection force in Iraq, provided there was a Council mandate for such a force. The United Nations rules and regulations did not allow for the establishment of such a trust fund in the absence of a specific mandate from the Council. In a 26 November letter to the Netherlands’ Minister for Foreign Affairs, the Secretary-General noted the United Nations’ intention to consider establishing a trust fund to support such a distinct entity. www.unis.unvienna.org /unis/pressrels/2004/sc8256.html   (320 words)

Journal of Diplomatic Language When one thinks of peace and relief mission negotiations in the context of the United Nations (UN), the high level international accords between the leaders of the various nations come readily to mind. For example, to mitigate the likelihood of miscommunication between Canadian Force recruiters and Aboriginal people, Canadian Forces members were made aware of the cultural significance of the use of silence and reticence, humor, consensus, deference to elders, and the importance of avoiding "hot" vocabulary and images. I recommend training for Canadian Force members in general and peacekeepers in particular on strategies and techniques to employ communication tools effectively (presentation support materials, telephone, voice mail, e-mail, and technical writing) with a view to improving the clarity and conciseness of the message. www.jdlonline.org /I4Edwards1.html   (4147 words)

SREBRENICA REPORT If it is only now that I am proposing such a force, it is because of the complexities and dangers of the Yugoslav situation and the consequent need to be as sure as possible that a United Nations force would succeed in consolidating the cease-fire and thus facilitate the negotiation of an overall political settlement. I have come to the conclusion that the danger that a United Nations peace operation will fail because of lack of cooperation of the parties is less grievous than the danger that delay in its dispatch will lead to a breakdown of the cease-fire and to a new conflagration in Yugoslavia. The techniques used are the seizure of territory by military force and the intimidation of the non-Serb population. www.haverford.edu /relg/sells/reports/UNsrebrenicareport.htm   (16353 words)

Security Council Unanimously Adopts Resolution Extending Mandate of United Nations Peacekeeping Force in Cyprus for Six Months It was United States policy to ensure that members of the United States armed forces participating in United Nations peace operations were protected from criminal prosecution or other assertion of jurisdiction by the International Criminal Court, including through the possible inclusion of express provisions providing such protection.
