What are the four main objectives of UN peacekeeping operations? What are the three principal reasons why international interventions fail?

What will be an ideal response?

Varies. There are four main objectives of UN peacekeeping operations: first, to separate the belligerents; second, to feed the war-ravaged populations; third, to mediate the disputes; and fourth, to reconstruct, in some fashion, common institutions and leadership to overcome divisions. There are three principal reasons why international interventions fail. First, international peacekeeping forces are usually ill trained and insufficiently supported to carry out their missions. Second, UN officials and troops may be corrupt. Third, international interventions become more and more limited as reconstruction processes progress, due to domestic pressures
