1 This categorization draws heavily on the concepts developed in Gareth Evans, Cooperating For Peace: The Global Agenda For the 1990s and Beyond (1993). It is related to but different from the categorization developed by Boutros Boutros-Ghali, An Agenda For Peace (1992). Of course, it draws more broadly on the wide literature concerning peacekeeping, including Paul F. Diehl, International Peacekeeping (1993); UN Peacekeeping, American Policy, And the Uncivil Wars of the 1990s (William J. Durch ed.), (1996); A Crisis in Expectations: UN Peacekeeping in the 1990s (Ramesh Thakur & Carlyle A. Thayer eds.), (1995); and James S. Sutterlin, The United Nations and the Maintenance of International Security: A Challenge to Be Met (1995).

11 See, for example, the conclusion of Leonard Meeker, former Legal Adviser of the U.S. Department of State, that “[w]hile the assertion of an international-law right to intervene to stop genocide would not have the backing of a competent United Nations body, it would signify, being made by NATO, that the air war was not being prosecuted on the decision of the United States alone, but with the concurrence of all nineteen members of NATO. This would give the claim some multilateral character, however incomplete.” Unpublished remarks, LAWS group (Apr. 29, 1999). Washington, D.C.
