| Summary / Abstract (Note) | In late 2012, a rebel force captured Goma, a provincial capital in the eastern Congo. This event spurred a renewed debate on the use of force by UN peacekeepers. These had begun in the Congo in 1960 with a UN operation led by Ralph Bunche – the UN official who largely defined UN peacekeeping. This article summarizes UN intervention in the Congo and the use of force since then. It traces the main contours of UN engagement and then draws some conclusions about when and where the use of force can be successfully employed – or best avoided – by UN peacekeepers. |
