Enhancing the Rapid Reaction Capability of the United Nations: Exploring the Options

Researched, written and edited by Tim Pippard & Veronica Lie UNA (UK) July 2004 Introduction Preventing violent conflict and responding quickly and effectively to crises are the most important tasks facing the United Nations in its efforts to maintain international peace and security. In relation to the latter, UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan indicates that the first few weeks following a ceasefire or peace accord are critical for consolidating the peace and establishing the overall credibility of the mission. Yet, in every major UN peace operation launched between 1991 and 1999, an interval of between three and six months separated the adoption of a UN Security Council resolution authorising a mission and the point at which the force actually deployed. After the Security Council passed Resolution 918, which increased the UN's strength in Rwanda to 5,500 troops, nearly six months elapsed before the force was eventually mustered, by which point approximately 500,000 Rwand

The United Nations Marine Corps Feasibility Study Program: - a Standing Force for the United Nations

Prepared by Brigadier General A. R. Courtney UNMC Brief Background Notes Over the years there have been numerous proposals for an independent dedicated UN controlled military force, principally arising from domestic political considerations of the member nations, manifesting itself in a reluctance to become involved in sensitive or long duration peacekeeping operations. This has been further compounded in recent years by concerns over casualties in the forces traditionally supplied for such operations. It has been suggested that an entirely volunteer force of some 5,000 internationally recruited personnel forming a UN  Rapid Reaction Force  and operating under unique rules of engagement, with its members having renounced their nationality in favour of UN status, would deflect responsibility from any one nation or group of nations to the collective, while any casualties arising from active service would not be directly ascribed to or focused upon member states. These factors alon

As can be seen we are slowly recovering some former planetary signitures to coroborate this data, but due to the hostile action of the 11/26/2005 this process will be both slow and probably incomplete. The numbers given alongside the ordinals, equate to the mass of each Gate, and were discovered when the data was factorised to be primes. Their actual mass varries by 2.7027027% from their prime number value. Thus to calculate their SSI mass, multiply the given number by 1.027027027. This is based upon the fact G-0006 = 37, yet it weighs almost exactly 38 metric tonnes. This method has been cross checked with AREA-50 and 52, and found to be correct within an acceptable margin of error. The mid-Gate is No.799, being the largest with a SSI mass of 6,364.48 tonnes, and obviously G-0001 and G-1597 are the smallest at 17.45 tonnes each, which matchs historical records. The other key observation concerns the total number of Gates, 1,597; as this is F17 in the Fibonacci sequence. It is possib

Alien Biological Contaminant

The charts linked to above show the measurements of the off-world  Alien Biological Contaminant  (ABC) first identified in 1946 during Operation High Jump, now known to be a mix of sophisticated artificial virus-like nano-technologies of alien origin, classified as the M1a-M1k and M2 series.Subsequent evidence indicates that at the time of Admiral Byrd's initial off-world excursion in 1934, the two forms of ABC had been at trace levels since the beginning of the  Cambrian Explosion  some 530 million years ago (mya), , whereas prior to this date only evidence for the M1 type can be found, and then only back to circa 2,100mya. It then rose to a figure somewhat less than 100 units by Byrd's return five months later in 1935. This can be asserted due to the fact that despite his long and unprotected exposure, Byrd did not suffer the detrimental  conversion  process typical of later casualties, although it is considered that it was a contributing factor to his death in 1957.
