All the troubles of the world on its shoulders

Article Abstract:

The post-Cold War period has overstretched UN peacekeeping operations. Its June 1992 report 'Agenda for Peace' was optimistic but Secretary-General Boutros Boutros-Ghali's letter of Nov 30, 1992 about aiding Somalia referred to the lack of resources for the size and urgency of Somalia's needs. The UN Secretariat and Security Council are poorly equipped for dealing with internal conflicts. The US and the UN have anti-imperial inclinations and wish civil wars to be short-term, whereas they are usually long-term.
