DISTRIBUTION IN THE LIGHT OF THE CAPSTONE DOCTRINE OF TASKS BETWEEN THE PEACEKEEPING MISSIONS OF REGIONAL ORGANIZATIONS AND THOSE OF THE UN FOR BETTER EFFICIENCY OF MISSIONS ON THE GROUND IN AFRICA

Abstract

This article is part of a context of poor collaboration between the peacekeeping missions of regional organizations and those of the UN in the face of new conflicts in Africa. To put an end to this bad collaboration and raise the level of the missions, the author proposes a collaboration where the regional organizations should have the total responsibility to fight against these new conflicts while the UN missions play a support role at the level of the weaknesses, in this case the financial aspect. The author supports his assertion by demonstrating that this last configuration fulfills the success criteria of the capstone doctrine, which is not the case of the current cooperation between them, which takes the form of a command of the UN forces and executing role of regional forces. The success criteria of the capstone doctrine include legitimacy, credibility and national ownership.
