Peacekeeping and post-conflict criminality

The paper presents a critical review of criminality as one of the major challenges facing post-conflict Liberia. The criminality-peacekeeping nexus is also explored with a view of establishing the link between UNMIL's presence in Liberia and increase in criminality. Although UNMIL has contributed significantly in ensuring relative stability since the ending of overt conflict in Liberia, it has failed to combat spiraling crime in the country due to the nature of its mandate.
