 Acquiring a Fire Engine Before the Fire Breaks Out: A Proposal for a UN Emergency Peacekeeping Service

A U.N. Role in East Timor
In recent weeks commentators have framed the uprisings in Timor Leste as a country that has spiraled into violence, despite the presence of U.N. peacekeepers. This gives the false impression that the United Nations has failed in the country formerly known as East Timor. The reality is significantly different.
