Read the following text and answer the questions 1-5 below by selecting the
best answer and mark it ( a, b, c, or d ).
1.
Peacekeeping is one of the UNs mechanisms for conflict resolution.
There are other important UN peace activities, which need to be stressed.
These activities are the most cost-effective ways of preventing disputes from
arising, stopping existing disputes from escalating into conflicts and
controlling and resolving existing conflicts. These activities are preventive
diplomacy, peace making, peace building, sanctions and disarmament.
2.
The Secretary General continues to receive mandates from the
General Assembly and the Security Council to maintain existing efforts, and
to undertake new ones, in this field. The Secretary-General, through his
special representatives, special envoys and other emissaries on a resident or
visiting basis, is actively engaged in implementing these political mandates
in several countries.
3.
Preventive Diplomacy is action to prevent disputes from developing
between parties, prevent existing disputes from escalating into conflicts and
to limit the spread of the latter when they occur.
4.
Peace Making is diplomatic action to bring hostile parties to
negotiated agreements through such peaceful means as those foreseen under
Chapter VI of the UN Charter.
5.
Peace building is critical in the aftermath of conflict. Peace building
includes the identification and support of measures and structures, which
will promote peace and build trust and interaction among former enemies, in
order to avoid a relapse into conflict.
6.
Sanctions are to apply measures not involving the use of force in order
to maintain or restore international peace and security. Such measures are
commonly referred to as sanctions. This legal basis is recalled in order to
underline that the purpose of sanctions is to modify the behaviour of a party
that is threatening international peace and security and not to punish or
otherwise exact retribution.
7.
Disarmament is the assembly, control and disposal of weapons.
Micro-disarmament is the practical disarmament in the context of the
conflicts the United Nations is actually dealing with. Micro-disarmament is
relevant to post-conflict peace building. Disarmament can also follow
enforcement action. All sanction's regimes include an arms embargo.
