Large report on how the UN un department of peacekeeping (DPKO) operations need to be changed in light of recent conflicts

“In 2000, the Brahimi Report proposed important doctrinal changes. The document suggested a cautious move from the narrow, Cold War inspired objectives of national security to the broader, post Cold War inspired ambitions of collective human security (Peou 2002: 51). Rather than perceiving people as citizens of particular states, the philosophy underlying human security regards all human beings as part of a global, state-transcending, community.” (Blocq 2006:205)
