UN Peacekeeping in Côte d'Ivoire
UN Peacekeeping Operation Final Report, written for Political Science 106PK: UN Peacekeeping taught by Professor William G. Nomikos. One of my favourite classes I’ve had in these first two years, Peacekeeping (the class) covered everything from the idealistic beginnings with the UN Charter and Ralph Bunche, through the trials and failures along the way to building the peacekeeping machine, and delving deep into dark realities of the sexual exploitation linked to UN PKOs. Never, it must be said, did the class take a destructive eye towards the UN. At times deconstructive, but always maintained the importance of reform in the system.
