Hillen (national security, Council on Foreign Relations) addresses the performance of the United Nations' military over the past 50 years. From observations missions and peacekeeping operations to enforcement actions, he analyzes 38 UN military operations from 1948 to the present. In his conclusion he argues that the UN's attempt to undertake complex and dangerous military operations will be antithetical to its political nature and thus futile as long as the structure of the international arena remains based on the sovereign state.
