Report of the 1995 Singapore Conference

organised by the Institute of Policy Studies and the United Nations Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR)

 

This is the second book based on a conference series, held under the auspices of the United Nations Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR), the Institute of Policy Studies (IPS) of Singapore and National Institute for Research Advancement (NIRA) of Japan, on various aspects of UN peace-keeping operations.

This new book covers the December 1995 conference, which dealt with the role and functions of civilian police, and brought together nine of the eleven police commissioners involved in past and present UN peace-keeping operations, as well as heads of national police, policy makers, UN staff, lawyers and academics. The book is divided into two segments, the Executive Summary, a concise and frank synthesis of the debates, is divided into five parts as follows: Part I provides an overall introduction to the current problems and the general background within which civilian police components of UN peace-keeping operations are required to function; Part II presents an outline of the common problems and challenges faced by many police commissioners in the conduct of their mandates; Part III highlights some of the key attributes and functions of civilian police, notably in the areas of institution building, human rights monitoring and community policy; Part IV reviews existing training at national, regional and international levels; Part V offers general recommendations.
