Abstract:

A new, independent U.N. Peacekeeping Organization overseen by an Executive Peacekeeping Board and charged with managing, implementing, and overseeing peace operations authorized by the Security Council could make U.N. peace operations more coherent, transparent, efficient, and accountable while sidestepping the management and human resources deadlock in the General Assembly.
