Abstract
Verdirame’s question ‘who guards the guardians?’ is more than timely. As the
number of UN peacekeeping operations has increased enormously in the past
20 years, so has the number of violent acts against populations by peacekeepers.
Scandals about peacekeepers’ violence against exactly those people
they are supposed to protect have in recent years tarnished peacekeeping in
the Congo, in Somalia, in Haiti, in Sierra Leone and Liberia and other
places. It is, indeed, high time that the question is asked about what exactly
the legal framework of peacekeeping is, and particularly of its practice on the
ground.
