THE ROLE OF INTERNATIONAL INSTITUTIONS IN PEACE ENFORCEMENT TO ATTEND GLOBAL PEACE

Abstract

The involvement of international organizations in SSR processes has grown to become a flurry of
overlapping activities and projects. This is especially true in conflict and post-conflict counties where
different organizations compete for donor and space. International organizations’ involvement in the
security sector reform field began to grow in the 1990s when they realized that development efforts,
especially in conflict and post-conflict scenarios, could not be successful in insecure environments.
Taking all the circumstances into account, the aim of this paper, which is to examine the role of
international institutions in peace enforcement in relation to the achievement of global peace, becomes a
necessity. Security governance has come to be seen as a vital component of institution building,
governance development, and reconstruction projects. Additionally, democratic oversight of the security
sector assumed a central role in the conditionality for partnership and membership of institutions such as
the EU, NATO, and the Council of Europe. Unfortunately, tackling global security is not the case for
today’s international system; it is now a case of a more realistic approach rather than an institutionalist
approach. Many international institutions being praised for their relevance in promoting and establishing
peace and security in the global system actually lead to contradictory results.
