    United Nations peacekeepers should have the power to engage in offensive operations in order to save innocent lives more effectively than defensive operations alone. Allowing aggressors to continue aggressive actions without direct punishment has failed in the past, resulting in massacres as seen in Bosnia. Defensive peacekeeping strategies are ineffective due to a lack of resources and confusion over mandates, whereas offensive operations could prevent threats by combating aggressors directly.

    My partner and I affirm the resolved, United Nations peacekeepers

    should have the power to engage in offensive operations.


    Power:
    Contention 2 Offensive Operations save innocent lives
    If aggressors are not attacked and punished directly, they will continue
    to be aggressive. In order to ensure that innocent people are not hurt,
    the UN must take preventive action against those who pose a threat.
    For example, in Bosnia instead of combating the aggressive Serbs
    directly, the UN Peacekeeping forces established safety zones for the
    targeted Muslims. This defensive strategy failed because of lack of UN
    resources, troops and confusion over conflicting mandates leading to
    the overrunning of the safe zones and massacre of the people. Similar
    occurrences have happened with other defensive peacekeeping
    operations in Rwanda and other places. Obviously, defensive
    operations are inefeective
