Summary:

In 2004, for the second time in a decade, the international community
found it necessary to intervene in Haiti to enforce and keep a peace.
For the first time under a United Nations mandate, several Latin
American countries stepped up to lead the mission. Chile provided
political leadership in the form of the special representative of the
secretary general, while Brazil agreed to send the force commander as
well as troops. Several other Latin American states also deployed
military personnel.As a result of this historically unique
circumstance, CHDS led a research project that looked at capacity
building in the hemisphere for those countries that took part in the
peacekeeping operation in Haiti: Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Canada,
Chile, Guatemala, Paraguay, Peru, the United States, and Uruguay. The
project identified strategic-level lessons learned in capacity
building for peacekeeping and tapped experts from all ten to
contribute to Capacity Building for Peacekeeping. In addition, this
study identifies which lessons are applicable to the critical task of
peacekeeping operations in general.
