The article discusses the developments in the peacekeeping missions conducted by the United Nations (UN), particularly in Rwanda and Sierra Leone. It focuses on the UN Assistance Mission for Rwanda (UNAMIR) peacekeeping mission in Rwanda in October 1993-March 1996 and the UN Mission in Sierra Leone (UNAMSIL) mission in Sierra Leone in October 1999-December 2005. It claims that the success of the Sierra Leone mission was due to the willingness of the UN Security Council to change the mission mandate and resource commitment based on the actual developments in the field.
