Protection of civilians (POC) is at the centre of UN peace operations, with
majority of UN military and police personnel having this mandate. This
chapter examines whether peacekeepers are provided with the means to fulfil
it. Drawing on her experience from the UN Mission in South Sudan
(UNMISS), Frafjord Johnson reveals systemic weaknesses in the way the UN
deploys, resources, and supports missions. A major problem is lack of
guidance when host governments prove to be the main perpetrator. The
primary responsibility to protect civilians rests with host governments, but
the UN system also needs to train its forces in POC-operations and security
reform. The chapter concludes that protection will remain an illusion for
many civilians at risk unless these challenges are addressed.
