In this course, an analysis will be made of legal aspects of UN peace operations. This will include “traditional” UN peacekeeping operations such as the United Nations Emergency Force I, through later operations such as the UN Force in Cyprus (unficyp) until recent UN operations such as the United Nations Mission In Liberia (unmil) and the United Nations Mission in Kosovo (unmik). The course will deal inter alia with the following aspects of peace operations: legal basis of peace operations; use of force and Rules of Engagement; Status of Forces Agreements and jurisdiction, and responsibility for internationally wrongful acts and claims.
