บทคัดย่อ
United Nations peacekeeping was among the earliest operations and a significant step undertaken by the Security Council in 1948. This initiative established the groundwork for later peace operations. However, over time, peace operations have undergone notable shifts in their roles and mandates, largely driven by evolving conflict dynamics. This paper traces the evolution of UN peace operations from their origins to the present, analyzing them through the lens of positive peace. Using qualitative documents and literature analysis, the research examines primary sources, such as UN reports, and secondary scholarly studies. The study tracks the evolution of peace operations from a traditional observer role to multidimensional operations. The findings indicate that increasing fatalities among peacekeepers, the proliferation of intra-state conflicts and asymmetric warfare, along with environmental pressures and technological challenges, have intensified operational risks. Based on these insights, the study recommends revisiting peacekeeping strategies with theory-informed policies and practical adaptations to enhance the effectiveness of UN peace operations.
