Should the US Participate in UN Peacekeeping Efforts
This paper will argue that the United States should not participate in UN Peacekeeping efforts. This stems from two basic realities: First, that the US has not fully supported the UN as a whole, and often takes lead action itself in conflict resolution; and second, that peacekeeping itself is a questionable and highly controversial pursuit. Unless the US makes a far deeper commitment to the UN and a full spectrum of its activities, there is no rational justification for participating in peacekeeping efforts. 8 pgs.
