United Nations: U.S. Participation in Peacekeeping Operations

Abstract

With a current annual cost of nearly $2.5 billion, peacekeeping operations are among the most important and costly United Nations (U.N.) activities. Because of the significance of these activities, the Chairman, House Committee on Foreign Affairs, asked GAO to review the Department of States management of US. interests in U.N. peacekeeping operations. GAO'S objectives were to (1) determine the processes for establishing, financing, and implementing U.N. peacekeeping missions; (2) assess the effectiveness of States oversight of U.S. interests in these operations; and(3) determine the role played by the Department of Defense (DOD) in supporting U.N. peacekeeping activities. GAO also provides information on the role of other international organizations in peacekeeping activities.
