Therefore the human race is endeavoring to avoid wars by shifting international efforts to resolve conflicts from mostly military solutions to a more inclusive approach. Here is the origin of the world’s quest for humanization of Security and Development paradigms. Creation of the UN was a landmark in humanization of Security and Development paradigms, and the UN Peacekeeping Operations(UNPKOs)implement humanitarian activities within that framework. Humanitarian activities of UNPKOs form the junction between the UN responses to humanitarian concerns and to political and security-related challenges. Therefore study of those activities is beneficial to investigate whether Security and Development paradigms are in process of humanization. Proper assessment of past experiences and learning from them becomes crucial within the analysis of UNPKOs, and landmarks of their humanitarian activities must also be revisited. The tragedy of conflict in the Democratic Republic of the Congo(DRC)compelled the Author to analyze the humanitarian activities of the UN PKO in the Congo(ONUC)in terms of increasing contribution of UNPKOs to humanization of Security and Development paradigms. We do not assert that humanitarian activities of ONUC radically advanced it. As a global and long-term process, such humanization is infinitely broader than any particular UNPKO. For that reason we wanted to reveal the facts of ONUC humanitarian activities which reflect that humanization and illustrate its limitations. The relationship between those activities and the will of parties for reconciliation is especially important. These experiences suggest that the ONUC case highlighted the principal political limitation to UNPKOs’humanitarian activities: Those activities may support but do not substitute for peace consolidation. They can adequately address humanitarian concerns only when local conflicting parties wish peace and external actors refrain from exploiting the situation. These summarized conditions are also very important within the wider humanization of Security and Development paradigms. The ONUC experience clearly illustrates the hopelessness of advancing such qualitative change without the maintenance of basic principles of UN peacekeeping: impartiality, consensual character and the non-utilization of military force by UNPKOs except in self-defense.}, pages = {213--246}, title = {Quest for Humanization of Security and Development Paradigms : Analysis of Landmarks in the ONUC Humanitarian Activities}, volume = {27}, year = {2004} }
