Abstract:
There have been many inter-state and intra-state armed conflicts fought by human beings
I the world. Even.today, there are internal armed conflicts in many countries. All these
pnflicts have caused many hardships on human beings. Therefore, these conflicts are destructive
for parties involved in the conflict and world community at large.
All these conflicts are man-made. Therefore, if all parties to a conflict think rationally,
hould weigh the pros and cons of a conflict in order to prevent conflicts and to make peace. In
lis process, both state and non state actors hold the responsibility of preventing violence and
naking peace.
There are various causes that motivate human beings. These motivations are the seeds
lat germinate causes of conflicts. Therefore, if the political commitment of preventing violence
nd making peace' is genuine, the military personnel and other stakeholders should possess
bquired competencies to perform tasks in peacekeeping operations.
Peacekeeping operations can be viewed as a system. The success of peacekeeping
rstem depends on functions of various other sub-systems. During peacekeeping operations the
ansformation of actors that contribute towards the formation of conflict is of pivotal
lportance. In this process of transformation, the use of force is not the effective tool.
