A lack of early warning by the United Nations Secretariat of the Rwandan genocide contributed, in part, to the failure of the international community to respond in a timely manner to this crisis. In the intervening decades, alongside the strengthening of the norm of civilian protection, the UN has enhanced its capacity for early warning through greater personnel numbers, as well as the re fi ning of risk analysis through the development of frameworks of analysis for atrocity crimes. However, to date, there has been no systematic study of the evolution and practice of mass atrocity early warning within the United Nations Secretariat, and the impact this has had on UN-led responses to impending and unfolding cases of mass atrocity crimes. In this article, we analyse the evolution of early warning within the UN Secretariat and how the Secretariat responded (or failed to respond) to escalating violence in Rwanda, Darfur, Côte d ’ Ivoire and Ethiopia. This analysis fi nds that despite incremental improvements in mass atrocity early warning in the UN Secretariat (which contributed to more timely responses in Côte d ’ Ivoire), more recent cases demonstrate that failure is no longer due to lack of early warning, but a result of lack of political will.

ABSTRACT This article is a deep dive into those factors in one specific case: The decision to reinforce the UN Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) after the war between Israel and Hezbollah in 2006. This case is a particularly useful case-study of the UN’s utility as a framework for peacekeeping because – as we will show – a significant number of actors involved in negotiations around the mission initially assumed that UNIFIL would not survive for long after the war. While many actors in 2006 wanted to see the end of UNFIL, preserving it proved to be the only diplomatically feasible option. Hence, this article explains why UNIFIL avoided closure, and how the issue of the host state consent progressively shaped the negotiation in and outside the Security Council chamber to find a solution to end the conflict. This case-study approach also centres the importance of diplomacy – including but not only at the UN – and of finding the right balance in negotiations to the making of peace operations.
