Abstract
United Nations (UN) peacekeeping operations have developed into one of the world’s most
important institutions engaged in establishing peace and security. Over time, several
generations of peacekeeping operations have succeeded one another. It has taken until the
most recent generation of peacekeeping operations that the UN started to look upon security
sector reform as a cornerstone for establishing durable peace. Now the UN commonly
implements security sector reform (SSR) in many of its peacekeeping operations.
This study focuses on whether such SSR policies and activities contribute to durable peace
according to actors involved or affected by these interventions. The study takes as an
empirical case the Kivu provinces in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). More
specifically, the study looks into how the SSR policies and activities of the UN peacekeeping
operation in the DRC (MONUC) contribute to durable peace. This will be assessed on the
basis of the perceptions, views and evaluations of those involved or affected by MONUC’s
SSR interventions.
