\u3000The first session was moderated by Professor Kurosawa who invited participants to comment and\/or ask questions. Professor Yoshitaka Hanada of the National Defense Academy referred to the generations of UN peacekeeping and asked in what direction UN peacekeeping would change in the future. Somalia missions were considered to be the third generation peacekeeping, and more complex ones after Somalia are sometimes called the fourth generation. Professor Kurosawa asked about the categorization of UNAMIR mission. Prof. Ishizuka replied that UNAMIR is regarded as a mission that should have used force but did not do so. Mr. Ken Inoue, Senior Adviser of JICA asked whether UN peacekeeping would be involved in institution-building for global governance in the future.<\/p>\n
\u3000Professor Sukehiro Hasegawa noted the importance of identifying and analyzing the \u201cmotive\u201d of the partners and stake holders of UN peace operations. In conflict resolution, there is a need to address not only the root causes of conflict in war-torn countries and areas but also the motives of outsiders who are involved in peace operations for their own reasons.<\/p>\n

\u3000Professor Yonekawa introduced her newly published book and explained how refugees have been manipulated by government, UN agencies and non-government organizations. A lively discussion followed among the participants.<\/p>\n
\u3000At the end of the session, Sukehiro Hasegawa, thanked Professor Yonekawa for introducing her new book and highlighting the main points made in the book. He agreed that most of the practitioners of peacebuilding and humanitarian workers of the UN agencies and NGO staff are not well aware of the contextual forces at work in war-torn areas and the implications of what they are doing. Japan should play an active role in filling this need for raising the awareness of aid workers.<\/p>\n
