ACTIVITY 1

The United Nations Peacekeepers: Re-enacting their Roles, Responsibilities,

and Change

Go to the web and accomplish these tasks:

 Research in Google what the United Nations peacekeepers are, the

countries that send these peacekeepers, their responsibilities, and the
places where they have been involved in the last 50 years.
 After familiarizing yourselves with the UN’s peacekeeping function, YOU
will now be ready to deal with a crisis.
 Read the scenario below.

Countries A and B have been at war against each other for 50

years over a big area of land that is located in their borders. The land
consists of rainforest, suitable farmlands, and rich mineral resources. It is
also suspected to have oil reserves underground.
The community that lives in this area is composed of people who
have never been clear about their national loyalties, for the simple reason
that they do not recognize these borders. They have been living in the
area along before countries A and B had national territories. They,
therefore, would like to be left alone, to “go back and forth” between the
two borders.
Countries A and B, however, want to exploit the resources of this
borderland. They started supporting leaders in the community, secretly at
first, but later on with open economic assistance. This association created
tensions within the community that soon worsened into open factional
rivalries between its leaders.
