An Agenda for Peace
The Role of the United Nations
Description:... From the Introduction: An Agenda for Peace: The Role of the United Nations commences with a lesson on the founding of the United Nations to set the historical context for the unit. Two lessons--"What Is Conflict?" and "What Is Peace?"--Serve as the conceptual framework for the unit. The remaining lessons then analyze three focus areas of the United Nations-peacekeeping, development and relief, and the environment--within the framework of peace and conflict. The goals of An Agenda For Peace: The Role of the United Nations are: to gain a better of understanding of the concepts of conflict and peace; to analyze the role of an international organization such as the United Nations in resolving and/or managing conflicts; to explore the early history of the United Nations; to exemplify structural and physical conflicts through an exploration of UNICEF activities; and to explain the role of the United Nations environment programme to prevent, mediate, and resolve environmental conflict; and to achieve and maintain environmental peace.--page 9-10
