Although the United Nations (UN) has only recently taken initial steps in
developing a common approach to security sector reform (SSR), it has been
involved for many years in supporting SSR processes in member states. This
is particularly true in cases where UN peacekeeping operations are
deployed as part of a comprehensive, multidimensional assistance effort to
build peace in post-conflict environments. This volume examines the
experience of UN integrated missions in supporting SSR in Burundi, the
Democratic Republic of Congo, Haiti and Kosovo. Based on the lessons drawn
from these case studies, the volume develops a set of recommendations for
future UN engagement in post-conflict SSR.
