Un extracto de la tesis:
Conflicts have changed and the United Nations, nation states and international humanitarian law have adapted to these changes. Usually these adaptations have come about retrospectively, after perceived failures, criticism and lessons learned. Even though there has been progress there still seems to be gaps in the effectiveness of an intervention and these gaps can be seen in how International Humanitarian Law (IHL) is interpreted and adhered to. Peacekeeping and Peace Enforcement Operations are constrained by their own mandates and principles but they each have their own advantages for the contexts in which they operate. With a changing world though which type of mission is the most effective within its own context. Which leads to a more sustainable peace; diplomacy and peacebuilding or a decisive battlefield victory?
