UNAMIR: A Failure of the UN?
Novák, Tomáš ; Bureš, Oldřich (advisor) ; Doboš, Bohumil (referee)
This bachelor thesis deals with the causes, course and the subsequent evaluation in respect of the UNAMIR peacekeeping mission in Rwanda, which was established by the UN Security Council, and the main purpose of which was to monitor the proper fulfilment of the Arusha Peace Agreement. The thesis acquaints the reader with the historical context of the conflict arisen between the members of the Tutsi and Hutu tribes in Rwanda, which finally lead to genocide. It analyses the world's approach towards the fastest genocide in history, especially then by the United Nations being the principal peace creator in the world. The thesis focuses in detail on the role of the individual UN bodies, in particular of the Security Council, the Secretariat, the Secretary-General and also the Mission Commander, General Roméo Dallaire. The thesis consequently analyses the functioning of the UN as a whole, its actions in respect of preventing the conflict and the following genocide, and whether it is only the UN who deserves the blame for the failure and infringement of the Arusha Peace Agreement.

The civil war in Somalia
Netopilová, Eliška ; Kochan, Jan (advisor) ; Pavlicová, Vendula (referee)
The level of living in many states in Africa is below-average, when compared to the European standard. One of the main challenges of the UN is peacemaking and peacekeeping in an international community. The UN tries to reach the point by using various means. In case of Sub-Saharan Africa, therefore Somalia too, exerts the UN an influence by force of peacekeeping missions and indirectly by means of specialized agencies of the UN. The aspiration of this bachelor thesis is to assess the effects of the UN and the specialized agencies of the UN on the conflict solution and on the level of living of the people living in Somalia. Somalis suffer from malnutrition, dehydration and mortal diseases by reason of a civil war that has lasted for more than two decades. High rate of illiteracy also reduces prospects for well-paid job and thus the ability to make livelihood. The UN tries to handle the situation inter alia by security reasons. By ensuring primary human needs would be created social harmony and reduced crime that could be a potential threat to the international community.
