Journal Title: GÜVENLİK STRATEJİLERİ DERGİSİ - Year 2018, Vol 14, Issue 27
Abstract
The UN continues its peacekeeping mission in the Cyprus Island since 1964. The role and effectiveness of this mission inspires interest for further research. The rationale and the importance of this research lie on the requirement to study the organization, roles, and effectiveness of UN in carrying out its mandate in the island. This research can make a significant contribution to the literature as it addresses a substantial topic in the field. The specific aims of this research are to analyze the roles and organization of this mission and to draw conclusion on whether it has been effective in carrying out its mandate. A qualitative research method and a case study design have been followed in this research. It has been concluded that UN has been quite successful in normalization, and partially successful in maintaining peace and order, but has failed in preventing conflicts between communities from 1964 to 1974.
