Implementation of the mandate of the UNPROFOR mission in Bosnia and Herzegovina between 1992-1995
Lalić, Jan ; Tejchman, Miroslav (advisor) ; Pikal, Kamil (referee)
The unwillingness of the international community to become involved militarily in Bosnian civil war between 1992-1995, made the United Nations Protection Force (UNPROFOR) a substitute for a decisive action. The absence of any foreseeable prospect of truce, which would have been supported by the presence of peacekeepers, led to the establishment of strictly humanitarian mandate for UN troops in the first phase of the war. They were supposed, in cooperation with the United Nations High Commisioner for Refugees (UNHCR), to secure functioning of the Sarajevo airport for humanitarian relief purposes and subsequently provide security for the UNHCR and its convoys providing humanitarian relief. Thesis "Implementation of the mandate of the UNPROFOR mission in Bosnia and Herzegovina between 1992-1995" deals with issues concerning humanitarian mandate in particular. This thesis aims to explain, through descriptive analysis, motives leading international community to deploy lightely armed peacekeeprs with uncharacteristic mandate to the region, which is absolutely inadequate for peacekeeping operations as I will show. It will subsequently analyze course of the implementation and problems, which were encountered by UN troops. The aim of this thesis is to prove, that UNPROFOR was not absolute failure as it is perceived,...

The role of UNPROFOR peacekeepers during the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina focusing on the safe area Gorazde
Poláková, Michaela ; Žíla, Ondřej (advisor) ; Šístek, František (referee)
The goal of this thesis is to analyse the role of UNPROFOR (United Nations Protection Force) during the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina in the years 1993-1995. The deployment of a peace-keeping mission was the only step taken by the Western countries towards resolving the conflict in the beginning, because none of the states were willing to intervene militarily. The humanitarian mission was supposed to be a temporary solution to the crisis, with the sole purpose of easing the suffering of the civilian population. At first, the main goal of UNPROFOR was to secure and maintain the Sarajevo airport, which was used for delivering supplies. With the conflict continuing, the UNPROFOR mandate was expanded, e.g. to protection of the humanitarian convoys. An important moment for the international community came with the introduction of the safe area concept. First one was established around Srebrenica, then other five were created - Tuzla, Bihać, Gorazde, Zepa and Sarajevo. With the help of UNPROFOR, these enclaves were supposed to safeguard the civilians and secure access to basic needs. The aim of this project is to find specific reasons behind the unsuccessful UNPROFOR mission and to determine, whether it was the fault of the soldiers themselves or of the international community. The hypothesis this thesis...

Šplíchalová, Eva ; Lisa, Aleš (advisor) ; Prorok, Vladimír (referee)
The thesis deals with conflict between Tutsis and Hutus, which took place in the 90s in Rwanda, its historical causes, the process and the role of the international community in its solution. The thesis is focused particularly on the role of the UN in resolving the conflict -- on the analysis of the effect of the UN peacekeeping mission, the conditions of its deployment, the definition of its mandate and other factors that led to its failure. The work represents a contribution to the debate about the role of the UN in today's world, the analysis of the conditions and preconditions of its agility, the efficiency and potential changes in its structure and functioning.
