Why wealthy "peacekeeping nations" are rejecting UN missions

Many Canadians pride themselves on being a country of peacekeepers. Canada proposed the UN’s first peacekeeping mission 60 years ago and for decades Canada remained one of the world’s top peacekeeping countries. But in recent years, Canada and its allies have stepped back from the world of peacekeeping, leaving some of the world’s poorest countries to now fill the void and cash-in.

You can't keep peace where there has never been peace

[@sedrikpocuch9046]

The definition of peacekeeping has changed over the years. Nowadays, peacekeeping is not about keeping peace but about actively intervening into conflicts and using violent means to achieve certain goals. You can see this in Mali. The peacekeeping mission is not about trying to keep peace between the Malian government and the various terrorist/rebel forces. The UN peacekeepers are actively fighting the terrorists. Hence, there have been so many casualties (170) amongst the peacekeeping troops already.

[@animula6908]

This is true, and yet I doubt that’s the reason. Why would they just say oh, we can’t be bothered with the work involved in oppressing these countries we exploit. They must be less capable of controlling poor nations as easily as they formerly did. That’s hopeful. Soon maybe everyone will have to stop bossing around resource rich, cash poor countries and let their people rule themselves as they may.

I feel obligated to say that Britain, one of the wealthiest nations in the world, has around 1000 peacekeepers active as I speak. However, they’re only deployed in Cyprus, where there is mostly relative peace. Only occasionally do they have to stop and order people back to their territory, but all they really do is walk around a deserted town.

[@rosestewart1606]

@@Mikesmith-uv8xm the problem is we don't really have an agenda now. Under Harper our agenda was whatever the Americans told us it was. Reducing violence on the ground in that region will make a big difference in the number of mass migrations from that area and that alone will reduce chaos. But we literally have no stand on anything like human rights or peacekeeping now. Our government makes decisions to please their donors...and the vast majority of them are not soldiers. I can think of a few places where peacekeepers are needed but those missions will never happen. But if you're going to have troops they do have to train and that was one of the benefits of being involved in so many missions in the past. The missions changed dramatically when the UN became on offensive force in the former Yugoslavia. But properly designed missions where we can actually make an impact are still worth doing.

[@yvonnem.langlois5197]

Maybe because these missions have nothing to do with peace, but rather backup for U.S. military interventions. But peacekeeping is easier to sell to populations.

Veterans cost money. Look at the number of disability awards from veterans affairs. I know from experience the numbers from Afghanistan pale to the casualties from peacekeepers. It’s why after service support should be included in military spending data. You plan for the decommissioning of a ship or plane, but not a soldier. It’s why the government has said they can’t afford it before, veterans ask for too much.
