Peacekeeping Missions of United Nations in Bosnia and Herzegovina and Cambodia

Na posthladnoratovsko razdoblje gledalo se kao na razdoblje u kojem ćemo imati smanjen broj oružanih sukoba. Početak 1990-ih dao je nagovijestiti da su te procjene u potpunosti pogrešne. Svijet je bio prepun unutardržavnih sukoba koji se u ovom periodu počinju percipirati s globalne razine i kao takvi se i rješavati. UN-ove misije u Kambodži i BiH odvile su se u gotovo istom vremenskom periodu te su obje bile pokušaji smirivanja unutardržavnih sukoba potaknutih dugom i bolnom poviješću. Dok se u Kambodži UN misija prikazuje kao najuspješnija, misija u BiH donijela je brojne gubitke, krv i državni poredak koji, kako vrijeme odmiče, otkriva nove mane i nemogućnosti razvoja države. Cilj rada je komparativnom analizom analizirati obje misije te doći do razloga njihovog pozitivnog, odnosno negativnog ishoda.Post-Cold War period was considered as a period in which would be reduced number of armed conflicts. Despite that, the beginning od 20th century foreshadowed wrong estimates. World was full of intergovernmental conflicts which were observated from the global level. Both UN missions, in Cambodia and in Bosnia and Herzegovina, starte in the same period and were encuraged by long and excruciating history. While Cambodian mission was the most succesful, mission in Bosnia and Herzegovina was the darkest period of UN which gave us state order which, as the time passes, shows more disadvantages and impossibilities for development. The aim of the paper is to analyze both missions by comparative analysis and to conclude the reasons for their positive or negative outcome
