It is common in international relations for individuals operating in foreign countries to be exempt from the laws and courts of those countries for their services on international missions. Examples include state diplomats, officials of international organisations, and military and civilian personnel under international agreements or individual contracts. The focus of this paper is on such immunities in relation to United Nations peacekeeping – particularly on the accountability systems where military or civilian peacekeepers commit crimes (for example: sexual exploitation of children, trafficking in women, rape, murder, negligent killing, or major fraud) in the already-battered localities of their service. It seems trite to say that inadequate accountability (and especially impunity) on peace operations threatens the integrity, core values and purposes of peacekeeping. The heart of the international mandate is generally about restoring international peace and security – not adding to the problems, committing crimes and being unaccountable. Of course, the issues involve personal ethics, training and discipline. But as in all legal systems, public accountability is critical to credibility. Actually, the noble goals and language in a Security Council resolution may well mask simple and sober realities. What can one expect from the deployment of tens of thousands of predominantly male military and civilian personnel into vulnerable domestic populations? There should be no suggestion that the issues are limited to ‘inadequately trained troops’, as diverse examples show in Cambodia, East Timor, the former Yugoslavia, Somalia, Congo and Iraq.

The subtitle of this collection – ‘Wittgenstein and Political Philosophy’ – should strike anyone with a passing knowledge of Wittgenstein’s work and life as odd. Firstly, he wrote nothing that could be construed as political philosophy. Secondly, he had a lifelong antipathy to the idea that values, ethical or political, could be the subject of a philosophical theory. And thirdly, his own negative attitude to political activism is abundantly clear in the few reports we have of his conversations on this topic. So what is going on here? Part of what is going on, I think, is that political philosophers who do not fit neatly into the traditional camps of liberalism and republicanism are trying to clear a path for a different approach to questions of political value. The question we might pose for this particular collection of essays is how Wittgensteinian is this path really. Is his work being interpreted to yield already present but hidden insights for political philosophy or is his work being plundered for ideas and suggestions to be used as tools for a different way of doing political philosophy? I think the answer to this question matters. In the former case we will be concerned to ask whether the interpreters get Wittgenstein right. In the latter case this question has no real importance. In the former case we are talking of a Wittgensteinian political philosophy whereas in the latter instance the political philosophy is Wittgensteinian in a very limited sense. There are other concerns as well. This collection puts Wittgenstein to work on behalf of a significantly left political agenda. Wittgenstein himself was no
