This course focusses on some of the legal and, to a lesser extent institutional, issues related to the conduct of United Nations peace operations (broadly defined) within the context of use of force by UN mandated or authorised forces. Emphasis is placed on examining issues such as the role and powers of the UN Security Council, UNSC Resolution interpretation, UN peace operations doctrine, Rule of Law and the inevitable enmeshing of domestic and international law inherent in such operations.
