Introduced on March 17th, 2005 into the House by Rep. Wynn, Albert, R.  [MD-4]

• This Bill expresses the sense that a United Nations Emergency Peace Service (UNEPS) capable of intervening in the early stages of a humanitarian crisis could save millions of lives, billions of dollars, and is in the interests of the United States.

• The United States should use its voice and vote at the United Nations to facilitate and support the creation of a UNEPS.

• The UNEPS should  be a permanent entity to be based at designated sites of the United Nations, include mobile field headquarters, and be able to act immediately to address an emerging humanitarian crisis.

•  It should be comprised of individuals who are recruited from among United Nations member nations and who are carefully selected, expertly trained, and coherently organized.

• It should be a dedicated service with a wide range of professional skills within a single command structure, prepared to conduct multiple functions in diverse United Nations operations.

• It should be able to provide an integrated service encompassing 10,000 to 15,000 civilian, police, judicial, military, and relief professionals.
