Managing Arms In Peace Processes

This series of publications, issued by the United Nations Institute for Disarmament Research, emanates from their project on Disarmament & Conflict Resolution (DCR). It examines the utility & modalities of disarming warring parties as an element of efforts to resolve intra-state conflicts. Each case study covers a UN peace operation & will include field experiences regarding the demobilization & disarmament of warring factions; a review of security actions where disarmament has been attempted & an examination of the role that disarmament of belligerents can play in the management & resolution of internal conflicts.

The DCR Project explored the predicament posed by United Nations peace operations which focused on short-term needs rather than long-term stability. The project is based on the premise that the control and reduction of weapons during peace operations can be a tool for ensuring stability. This volume addresses key issues pertaining to demobilization, disarmament and the control of weapons.--Publisher summary.
