Thruout the hist of the UN, there were certain peacekeeping and/or monitoring ops proposed for certain conflicts at particular times, which never actually eventuated due to differences of opinion and lack of consent between the warring sides and possible contributor states, or other changing circumstances. Some examples include a proposed PKF to supervise the Falklands after 1982, and another monitoring/PK mission on the Nicaragua-Honduras border during the mid-80s. How would such ATL PKOs have looked like in the overall scheme of hist ?
Other examples of could-have-been PKOs which I can think of:
1961-62- Laos-Vietnam border re Communist infiltration
1962-63- Cuban Missile Crisis- UN monitors aboard Soviet-flagged ships to Cuba
1960s- VW- UN monitors along DMZ
1969- Honduras/El Salvador border after 'Football War'
1978- Namibia re South African, Cuban withdrawal (FYI the SC passed a resolution authorising such a PKO that yr, which however only eventuated in 1989)
late 70s, early 80s- Belize-Guatemala border re British-Guatemalan conflict over Belize sovereignty
1982- Lebanon- expanded UNIFIL outside southern Lebanon, into Beirut
1989/90- Afghanistan- UN PKO to reconstruct country after Soviet withdrawal
1991/92- preventive PK missions in Croatia and Bosnia before fullscale hostilities (along lines of UNPREDEP in Macedonia from 1993)
1993/94- South Africa during post-apartheid elections
+Ecuador-Peru border re frontier disputes
1994/95- Burundi- preventive PKO to prevent renewed Hutu-Tutsi violence
1999- Kosovo- UN blue helmet force to separate KLA, local Serbs after Serb security forces withdrew
+ East Timor- armed peacekeepers on ground before Aug referendum on ET independence
2000- Palestine- UN personnel to monitor clashes between Israeli security forces, Palestinian Authority
+ Solomon Islands, Maluku (in Indonesia)- international PKs requested to deal with endemic intercommunal violence
2001- Afghanistan- expanded ISAF outside Kabul
Anybody think of any others ?
