Foreword

I am pleased to contribute the Foreword to Professor Walter Dorn’s important book on improving UN peace operations. These operations are much needed in today’s world and are in need of constant innovation. Violent extremism, whatever its origin and wherever it raises its ugly head, is everyone’s business. Peace operations have become one of the most important tools the international community has to achieve conflict resolution. We can no more abandon peace operations than we can turn our back on dying children in catastrophes or give up our hopes for a more peaceful world.
