Somalia dan Perubahan Peran Penjaga perdamaian Pada Era George Bush, Clinton dan Boutros-Ghali
Abstract: This article
examines the changing of role of peacekeeping in Bush’s mandate,Clinton’s
mandate and Boutros-Ghali’s mandate. Rapid delivery of food tostarving Somalis
is the goal of peacekeeping in Bush’s administration. ForPresident Clinton,
peacekeeping has to assume responsibility for theconsolidation, expansion and
maintenance of a secure environment. DuringBoutros Boutros-Ghali’s tenure,
peacekeeping came to refer to almost anyactivity in which conflict resolution
was carried out by a multinational forceunder the auspices of the UN. This new
conception dissolved the lines betweenhumanitarian missions, peacekeeping, and
military engagement. Somalia hadbecome a good example of what was becoming
known as a “failed state”- apeople without a government strong enough to govern
the country or representit in international organizations; a country whose
poverty, disorganization,refugee flows, political instability, and random
warfare had the potential tospread across borders and threaten the stability of
other states and the peace ofthe region. This article shows that UNITAF, Gorge
Bush’s mission to deliverfood and medicine to a starving Somalia, was
successful.UNOSOM IIundertaken by the Clinton administration and the UN, and
aimed at nationbuilding, was a predictable failure that was abondened after
unexpectedcasualties.
