International Policing in Peace Operations: The Role of Regional Organizations

By Renata Dwan

Peace operations in the Balkans and East Timor have focused attention on the crucial role of civilian police in crisis management and post-conflict peace building and highlighted the gaps in international capacities for policing. This report examines the legal and political issues surrounding international policing by regional bodies as well as the efforts undertaken by regional organizations to develop policing capacity. It explores the consequences of this new development for relations between the UN and regional organizations in peace operations.
