Abstract
The United Nations has recently made increased use of contingents from the civil police forces of member states in peacekeeping and humanitarian aid operations. These contingents form the CIVPOL element of an operation and have specific duties under operational mandates. This analysis distinguishes between non‐intrusive CIVPOL mandates (eg Cyprus) and intrusive CIVPOL mandates (eg Cambodia) and examines the conceptual and practical problems of policing for the UN. It includes consideration of the contribution that comparative police studies could make to improving the effectiveness of the multinational CIVPOL elements. It demonstrates the linkage of this form of international police work to the discussions on an International Criminal Court and the establishment of the War Crimes Tribunal for former Yugoslavia. The general findings and case study of the Combodian operation (UNTAC) provide a further illustration of the utility of Brewer's work on the issues related to policing ‘divided societies’.
期刊介绍：
Policing & Society is widely acknowledged as the leading international academic journal specialising in the study of policing institutions and their practices. It is concerned with all aspects of how policing articulates and animates the social contexts in which it is located. This includes: • Social scientific investigations of police policy and activity • Legal and political analyses of police powers and governance • Management oriented research on aspects of police organisation Space is also devoted to the relationship between what the police do and the policing decisions and functions of communities, private sector organisations and other state agencies.
