U.N. PEACEKEEPING: Executive Branch Consultations With Congress Did Not Fully Meet Expectations in 1999-2000

Abstract

From mid-1999 to early 2000, the United States voted eight times in the U.N. Security Council to authorize or expand multilateral operations in East Timor, Sierra Leone, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The ongoing U.N. operations in these three locations are estimated to cost $1.4 billion in 2001. 1 You asked us to examine whether U.S. decisions to vote for these operations were consistent with executive branch policies for supporting such operations and consulting with the Congress about the decisions.
