United Nations Interventionism: Peacekeeping Operations in Kosovo
United Nations Interventionism: Peacekeeping Operations in Kosovo

Summary/Abstract: The Kosovo crisis was in the air for a long time, since the first protests of the Kosovar Albanians in 1981, after Tito's death continued to grow during the disintegration of the Yugoslav Federation in the early 1990s. The intervention of the international community in the summer of 1999 whose legality was and still is questioned, apparently managed to end the war, but not animosities and ethnic discrimination between Serbs and Albanians. This paper seeks to find answers to several questions, including the effectiveness of the peacekeeping process and of international interventions in post-conflict areas and their contribution to a more stable peace. The objective of the research is to describe the peacekeeping activities deployed in the unstable region of Kosovo and to analyze their role played on the international security system and their effects on the civilian population from the province. This paper aims to initiate in the backstage of the phenomenon of peacekeeping, bringing the pros and cons in terms of efficiency of the KFOR troops in Kosovo.
