The Organization of African Unity and Peacekeeping.
Abstract
This paper evaluates the capabilities of the Organization of African Unity to function as a regional peacekeeping force and seeks to determine whether such a force is considered to be in the best interests of the United States. The analysis was performed following a detailed study of literature; visits to the Canadian Ministry of Defense, the United Nations, the International Peace Academy, the US State Department, OAU Headquarters in Ethiopia and New York City, and seven African nations; and attendance at Canadian Peacekeeping Courses. The capability of the OAU to field such a force was examined from a military, political and economic standpoint.
