UN peace operations are increasingly tasked with pursuing stabilization mandates, carrying high expectations of stabilizing conflict zones, achieving national reconciliation, and restoring state legitimacy. This comprehensive book delves into the intricate relationship between UN stabilization mandates and the concept of 'human security.'

The book is structured into three parts. Part I provides an overview of the emergence of stabilization and other trends in peacekeeping practice, while also introducing an analytical framework of human security. Part II applies this framework to case studies of three UN peace operations: MINUSMA, MINUSCA, and UNMISS, examining key issues such as human rights, empowerment, protection, and vulnerability. Part III raises several concerns associated with stabilization mandates, including the militarization of UN peace operations, the implications under international humanitarian law, the risks of close cooperation with the host state and engagement in counter-terror activities, and the potential clash between peacebuilding activities and militarization.

This book is a valuable resource for academics, policymakers, and practitioners engaged in UN peacekeeping, particularly those focused on stabilization, from the perspectives of international relations, international law, peace and conflict studies, security studies, and human rights. It offers insightful analysis and practical insights into the complex dynamics between UN stabilization mandates and human security, contributing to a better understanding of the challenges and opportunities in peacekeeping operations.
