Vaerldssamfundets insats i Somalia 1992-95: UNOSOMI, UNITAF, UNOSOM II (The International Communities Intervention in Somalia 1992-1995: UNOSOM I, UNITAF, UNOSOM II).

摘要

The course of events during the intervention in Somalia 1992-1995 is divided into three parts in this report: (1) UNOSOM I (April 1992-March 1993), a traditional military observer mission based on Chapter VI of the UN Charter. (2) UNITAF (December 1992-May 1993) when USA, authorized by the Security Council based on Chapter VII of the Charter, organized and led a multinational force in order to provide a secure environment of humanitarian assistance. (3) UNOSOM II (March 1993-March 1995), the second UN-led operation in Somalia, which had a widely extended mandate compared to UNITAF, with mainly peace- and nation-building duties. The Somalia case was the first time the UN authorized an armed intervention in a failed state, without having consent from an opposite party in the affected country. The grounds used by the UN to justify the intervention were humanitarian, to save a Somalis from chaos and famine, not to solve a conflict between states. This implied an important change in what is to be seen as a threat to international peace and security according to the UN Charter.
