The fundamentally international character of UN Security Council–authorized peacekeeping missions provides an unparalleled legitimacy to any intervention and demonstrates the commitment of the entire international community to take tangible action to address the crisis at hand. UN Peacekeeping alone may not be the right tool for every situation; it must accompany a peace process, not substitute for one. Working along side partners such as NATO (in Afghanistan and Kosovo), the European Union (in the Democratic Republic of the Congo) and the African Union (in Sudan), UN peacekeeping provides an impartial and widely-accepted vehicle for both burdensharing and effective action.
