Issues in Implementing International Peace Operations

Abstract

Peacekeeping operations play an important role in advancing U.S. security interests. The operations attempt to maintain international security in locations such as the Congo, Sierra Leone, Kosovo, Bosnia, and most recently Afghanistan. Between fiscal years 1996 and 2001, we estimate that the United States provided $3.45 billion in direct contributions and $24.2 billion in voluntary or indirect contributions to 33 U.N. peacekeeping operations in these and other locations.1
