Strategic Forum. Number 3. Presidential Decision Directive - 25. Multilateral Peace Operations

Abstract

Workship Conclusions were: Presidential Decision Directive 25 contains criteria for peace operations that, if strictly applied, could result in decisions to avoid U.S. participation in nearly all military operations; There is a danger that the failed Somalia mission will inhibit U.S. efforts to play constructive roles in UN peace operations; There is a need to establish formal and ongoing consultative procedures with Congress to assure Congressional involvement prior to U.S. engagement in peace operations; The Directive downplays the important policy area of remedial steps for effective humanitarian assistance programs; and Efforts to strengthen UN peacekeeping capabilities may be hampered if current UN management procedures are not reformed. On June 14, 1994, the Institute for National Strategic Studies (INSS) and the School of International and Public Affairs (SIPA) of Columbia University conducted a workshop to assess the policy and program implications of Presidential Decision Directive (PDD) 25, Reforming Multilateral Peace Operations. Signed on May 3, 1994.
