Un Rapid Deployment Force
EDM number 549 in 1996-97, proposed by David Atkinson on 18/02/1997.
That this House notes the failure of United Nations peacekeeping forces to be deployed with sufficient swiftness to de-escalate conflict in Bosnia and in Rwanda; notes that the cost of the relief effort after the Rwandan conflict was $522 million, a figure vastly higher that the $115 million Secretary-General Boutros Boutros Ghali asked for to boost peacekeeping in Rwanda prior to the genocidal conflict that took place there in April, May and June of 1994; and urges the United Kingdom Government to give serious consideration to the creation of a small standing rapid deployment force for the United Nations, as envisaged by the Commission for Global Goverance and the Foreign Ministers of Canada, Denmark and Holland.
This motion has been signed by a total of 33 MPs.
