Although primarily

interested in legal and policy issues, this volume includes commentary on a wide range of topics related to international peacekeeping, including conflict resolution, humanitarian relief and terrorism. Topics of the eight articles include perspectives on UN operations and judging their outcomes, operations of the Special Committee on Peacekeeping Operations for the 2006 season, maintenance of international peace and security by the UN, peacekeeping under the watch of the Secretary General, responsibilities of states in respect to UN peacekeeping missions, understanding and supporting the international territory administration accountability deficit, lessons learned from legal and judicial work in multinational peacekeeping operations, and field perspectives on security sector reform. Along with related conference reports and proceedings this offers a paper on maritime security operations law and practice at the beginning of the twenty-first century. Martinus-Nijhoff is an imprint of Brill.
