Introduction

Welcome to The United Nations Peace Action Plan: Case Study-Cambodia. Thiscurriculum module (grades 9-12) has as its focus the United Nations peace actionplan that is evoMng as Cambodia and the U.N. become partners in restructuring theirland.

Born in the ashes of World War II, the United Nations was the hope and beacon in adevastated world. Although often handicapped in the complex struggles emanatingfrom the Cold War tensions, the United Nations potential remained. Today we see aresurgence of faith in this forum...a forum where all the peoples of the world candebate, negotiate and be heard.

As United Nations Secretary-General Boutros Boutros-Ghali reminds us, the "new"world needs to do more than maintain peace and prevent war. Our "new" world needsa "new" order, new structures of peace, designed, built, and maintained by those in theareas of past conflict.

Tirelessly, and often without recognition, the U.N. has worked to create a morepeaceful world. Recently, Secretary-General Boutros-Ghali, in a report to the U.N.security Council, proposed a peace action plan, an Agenda for Peace. It is a planthat challenges the world community to not only work to end violence but to designstructures that create and maintain peace.

This Plan forms the core of this curriculum module. All of us, students and teachers,have to be empowered to build structures for peace wherever we find ourselves.Using a case study, the U.N.'s recent efforts at peace building in Cambodia, studentsexplore the issues and practice the skills of peace bulding.

It is our hope that young people learn of the U.N. peace efforts in Cambodia, an areaof special interest to the people of the United States, whose painful memories of theVietnam Era are still fresh. And we also offer opportunities to develop skills inpreventing violence, and making, keeping, and building peace... .skills that willempower them to be builders of peace in their own school and neighborhoods as wellas on a national and global level.

There are eight lessons providing for local, national, and international applicationthrough hands-on experiences, roleplaying, simulation, and collaborative work onreports and visual presentation. Although it is hoped that some classes can cover alleight lessons, each is written with other possibilities for use in your curriculumplanning. The lessons can be"infused" into existing units, or taught as a whole.

Each of these lessons can be used independent of each other, or in sequence. If usedindividually, background information from previous lessons, that might be helpful for

the teacher, is listed in the "Materials" section. Most of the Lessons cover 2-3 days.Each lesson is broken into 15 minute teaching segments.

lf desired, Lessons 1-3 can be taught in sequence, focusing on the United Nations'peace efforts in general. Lessons 4-7 in sequence will give students a focus on theU.N. peace efforts specifically in Cambodia. Lesson 8 can be a culminating activity foreither sequence or any one lesson.

Through the activities found in Lessons 1-3, the students explore the nature andelements of peacemaking, in their own lives, their communities, and world wide.There is special focus on the United Nations'unique role, from its inception throughtoday, in maintaining peace. In studying Secretary-General Boutros-Ghali's Agendafor Peace, students better understand the vision, mission, and challenge of creating amore peace-filled world for the 21st Century.

In Lessons 4-7, the activities focus on Cambodia, its recent past of violence, terror andwar and today's challenging efforts at peace. Students witness the military failure atresolving conflict. Through roleplaying and simulation, they also experience thedemands, complexities, frustrations, and successes of negotiation and diplomacy.They are invited to address today's on-going challenges to the United Nations'negotiated settlement of the Cambodia conflict, experiencing the fragility of conflictresolution.

Lesson 8 has the students working together in creating a documentary on a "world'shot spot", applying the U.N. model of peacebuilding in Cambodia. An optional activityis to develop a similar plan for school or neighborhood.

Section II is a listing of individual peacemakers. Students are encouraged to create alist of criteria and identify individuals in their own lives that are makers, keepers, andbuilders of peace. In Section III, a variety of resources are listed that offer otherclassroom strategies for peace and conflict resolution. Section IV lists age-appropropriate materials on the United Nations.

The Appendix has Secretary-General Boutros-Ghali's Agenda 'tor Peace. Referencesto the use of this document are found in indMdual lessons. Any of the material can bereproduced if used in the classroom.

* Who could act as a "third party" in this dispute?* What qualities would be needed for this party to be helpful in solving problem?* What would having a third party add to the resolution of the diSpute?* What might be some procedures and rules needed to assure that someresolution will come about? (Listening, paraphrasing, respect of the "whys",agree to accept solution etc)

2. 30 minutes

Have class designate a "third party" who, with the role-players, re-enacts the scenariousing the class suggestions from #1. After the second presentation, have studentsdiscuss:

* What are the challenges involved in resolving disagreements you have had inyour own life

* What obstacles are there to seeking a "third party" when you have adisagreement?

* To what degree are these obstacles strengthened because you are not awareof your adversary's needs and feelings?

* How difficult is it to accept and respect other people's needs Andfeelings when you are disagreeing? What are ways to overcome thosedifficulties?

Celebrate National Discovery Day

How about a Columbus Day compromise? Designate it National Discovery Day instead

Italian Americans need take no offense: a name change would not diminish the extraordinaryachievements of the Genoese navigator of "the ocean sea." Neither would it slight the American!mien inhabitants of North America who were on the shore when Columbus arrived.

Rather, a name like Discovery Day would underscore the idea that America needs to rediscoveritself.

The 500th anniversary of Columbus' voyage has acted as a beneficial catalyst for this broaderdiscussion. That America is forged from many races and cultures is not in cispute.

The dispute is over where that fact leads. toward the melting pot of middle-class achievementcombined with stubborn poverty, isolation and despair, toward an ethnically balkanizedcountry such as Canada is considering; or a third way combining racial and ethnic appreciationwith common national rights, aspirations and opportunities.

Coiumbus Day- or Discovery Day should be an occasion not to idealize or demonize Columbus.Indians or others, but to explore the relationship among peoples who share a common setting.It is not a time to say wistfully, 'Sink the Ships," as a local theater titled a performance It is

not a time to dwell soiey on the voyage, but to recognize the consequences of the landing on thelife of the continent and its citizens.

Many descendents of immigrants worry that their heritage is denigrated by challenges to theColumbus story of their childhood. Some Indians worry that they will be forgotten after thequincentennial hoopla. Neither need be true.

Discovery is a dynamic concept. For America to grow as a nation, future explorations mustinclude those that look inward. The pain as well as the adventure of the nation's past must beexcavated for new, more inclusive foundations to be built.

The result must be a national vision that includes not only all people, but all creatures, and theland, water and air. Much of this is the story 1-,ative Americans have been trying tocommunicate to the immigrants for 500 years.

What is the United Nations?

The United Nations is the international organization of States (countries) founded after theSecond World War for the purposes of preventing war, maintaining international peace and security,and promoting social progress and better standards of life in larger freedom, developing friendlyrelations among nations and achieving international cooperation. The Member States are boundtogether by their adherence to the United Nations Charter and its principles. The U.N. began its workin 1945 with only 51 members. Today, there are over 175.

The United Nations is not a super-state or a world government. It has no powers that are notgiven to it by its Member States. It can only act when they decide it should. The members choosewhether or not to use the U.N.'s procedures, carry out its decisions, even whether or not to observethe provisions of the Charter they have sworn to uphold.

The United Nations proper is composed of six principle organs:

The General Assembly is the main deliberative organ. It is comprised of representatives ofall Member States, each of which has one vote. Decisions on important questions, such asrecommendations on peace and security, admission of new members and budgetary matters, requiresa two-thirds majority. Decisions on other questions are reached by a simple majority.

The Security Council has primary responsibility, under the Charter, for the maintenance ofinternational peace and security. The Council has fifteen members: five permanent members -- China,France, Russia (formerly the USSR), the United Kingdom, and the United States -- and 10elected by the General Assembly for two-year terms. Each member of the Council has one vote.Decisions on procedural matters are made by an affirmative vote of at least nine of the 15 members.Decisions on substantive matters require nine votes including the concurring votes of all fivepermanent members. This is the rule of the "great Power unanimity" often referred to as the "veto"power. If a permanent member does not support a decision but does not wish to block it through aveto, it may abstain. Under the Charter, all Member States of the United Nations agree to accept andcarry out the decisions of the Security Council. While other organs of the U.N. make recommendationstc governments, the Council alone has t 1e power to take decisions which members are obligated tocarry out.

The Economic and Social Council was established by the Charter as the principal organ tocoordinate the economic and social work of the United Nations and its specialized agencies andinstitutions. The Council has 54 members who serve for three years. Eighteen members are electedeach year for a three-year term to replace 18 members whose term has expired. Voting in the Councilis by simple majority; each member has one vote.

In setting up an International Trusteeship System, the Charter established the TrusteeshipCouncil as one of the main organs of the United Nations and assigned to it the task of supervisingthe administration of "trust territories" placed under the Trusteeship System. Major goals of theSystem was to promote the advancement of the inhabitants of Trust Territories and their progressivedevelopment toward self-government or independence. The aims of the Trusteeship System have beenfulfilled with all of the territories attaining independence, either as separate countries or by joiningneighboring independent nations.

The International Court of Justice is the principal judicial organ of the United Nations.Its Statute is an integral part of the United Nations Charter. All countries which are parties to theStatute of the Court (which automatically includes all U.N. Member States) can be parties to casesbefore it. Other countries can refer cases to it under conditions laid down by the Security Council.In addition, the Security Council may recommend that a legal dispute be referred to the Court. Boththe General Assembly and the Security Council can ask the Court for an advisory opinion on any legalquestion. The Court consists of 15 Judges elected by the General Assembly and the Security Council,voting independently. They are chosen on the basis of their qualifications, not on the basis ofnationality, and care is taken to ensure that-the principal legal systems of the world are representedin the Court. No two Judges can be nationals of the same country. The Judges serve for a term ofnine years and may be re-elected. They cannot engage in any other occupation during their term ofoffice.

The Secretariat services the other organs of the United Nations and administers the programsand policies laid down by them. At its head is the Secretary-General, who is appointed by theGeneral Assembly on the recommendation of the Security Council.

ME UNITED NATIONS:ORIGIN, PURPOSES AND PRINCIPLES

The name "United Nations" was devised by President Franklin D. Roosevelt and was first used in the "Declarationby United Nations" of January 1, 1942, during the Second World War, when representatives of 26 nations pledgedtheir Governments to continue fighting together against tile Axis Powers.

The United Nations Charter was drawn up by the representatives of 50 countries at the United NationsConference on International Organization, which met at San Francisco from April 25 to June 26, 1945. Theydeliberated on the basis of proposals worked out by the representatives of China, the Soviet Union, the UnitedKingdom, and the United States at Dumbarton Oaks in August-October 1944. The Charter was signed on June 26,1945, by the representatives of the 50 countries. (Poland, not represented at the Conference, signed it late andbecame one of the original 51 Member States.)

The United Nations officially came into existence on October 24, 1945, when the Charter had been ratifiedby China, France, the Soviet Union, the United Kingdom and the United States and by a majority of othersignatories; October 24 is celebrated each year as United Nations Day.

Preamble to the U.N. Charter

The Preamble to the Charter expresses the ideaLs and common aims of all the people whose Governments joitied together to formthe United Nations:

"WE THE PEOPLES OF THE UNITED NATIONS determined to save succeedinggenerations from the scourge of war, which twice in our lifetime has brought untold sorrow

to mankind, and to reaffirm faith in fundamental human rights, in the dignity and worth ofthe human person, in the equal rights of men and women and the nations large and small, and

to establish conditions under which justice and respects for the obligations arising fromtreaties and other sources of international law can be maintained, and to promote socialprogress and better standards of life in larger freedom, and for these ends to practicetolerance and live together in peace with one another as good neighbours, and to unite our

strength to maintain international peace and security, and to ensure, by the acceptance ofprinciples and the institution of methods, that armed force shall not be used, save in thecommon interest, and to employ international machinery for the promotion of the economic

and social advancement of all peoples, have resolved to combine our efforts to accomplish

these aims.

Accordingly, our respective Governments, through representatives assembled in the city

of San Francisco, who have exhibited their full powers found to be in good and due form, have

agreed to the present Charter of the United Nations and do hereby establish an internationalorganization to be known as the United Nations."

ACCEPTANCE SPEECH OF SECRETARY-GENERAL BOUTROS BOUTROS-GHALI

Allow me, at the outset, to extend to you, Mr. President, my most sincere thanks for the kind wordyou have addressed to me. I have been deeply touched by your kind thoughts and good wishes.

It was a source of deep satisfaction for me when the Security Council, in its resolution 720,unanimously recommended me as the sixth Secretary-General of the United Nations. The unanimousadoption by the General Assembly of the resolution endorsing this recommendation is indeed a greathonor for me.

On the personal level, I am grateful to each Member State of the United Nations that honored mewith this great trust. I am only too conscious of the magnitude of this task from this very moment.

I do not claim to elevate the vision of the Utopian city called for by the Islamic thinker, Al-Farabi,to that of a Utopian world, for I cannot promise to go beyond what is feasible and what is possible.Despite the close ties that bind me to optimism, my ties to realism are even closer.

In the name of every African, I wish to express appreciation for the opportunity afforded to Africa,through my election, to take part in the service of the international community. Africa feels ready tomake its contribution by virtue of its creative ability and recent achievements in the international arena.

On the other hand, based on the premise of equal opportunity for all members of the family ofnations, and in a spirit that goes beyond mere equality and rises to the level of equity that shouldpermeate the fibre of international relations, a true challenge has been presented to Africa.

Needless to say, I see in my election a special appreciation for Egypt and recognition of the roleshe plays on the international scene. The fact that I belong to Egypt, an Arab African State that bordersthe Mediterranean Sea, which, throughout the ages has been a crossroads for many cultures and has beenthe crucible of civilization and religions, imbues me with the faith which every Egyptian wholeheartedlyembraces that is, faith in peace and security as a goal, in dialogue and negotiation as an approach, andin harmony and cooperation as a hope.

It is my fervent desire, as I discharge my duty, to communicate this cultural legacy through mutualcooperation and to raise the banner of peace wherever there is underdevelopment, conflict and tensionin the world.

There are many areas of tension, conflict and confrontation on the international scene areaswhere blood has been shed, where human creativity is destroyed, and where the spirit of cooperation,integration and good neighborliness face grave challenges. There are also peoples that are still deniedthe exercise of their inalienable rights.

I should like to underline four basic issues that confront the international community as I see them:First, there is the need to ensure the maintenance of international peace and security in conformity

with the Charter. This requires the strengthening of the United Nations machinery in a manner that willenable it to fulfill its important objectives not only in peace-keeping but in peace-making and in peace-building as well. [This will require] active preventive diplomacy, with a view to monitoring thedevelopment of crises and devising adequate means to defuse them and prevent their escalation.

Secondly, there is the necessity to strive for the attainment of international economic developmentin all its aspects. It is my intention to address this issue with vigour in order to contribute to findingways and means to narrow the gap between the rich North and the poor South. Tackling the cripplingproblem of international debt is central to achieving a healthy world economy. Equally important, issuesof environment and development must be seriously addressed so as to stop any further deterioration ofour planet.

13

Page 21: DOCUMENT RESUME Sorenson, Mary Eileen; And …DOCUMENT RESUME SO 025 397 Sorenson, Mary Eileen; And Others The United Nations Peace Action Plan. Case Study--Cambodia. A Curriculum

Th.irdly, I shall take with utmost seriousness my role as chief administrative officer of thisorganization. It is imperative that the sole criterion to apply in the employment of men and women bethe highest standards of efficiency, competence and integrity. It is said that the United Nations is amirror image of itS Member States, and their counsel and support are essential if we are to meet thestandards they rightfully expect.

I welcome and will carefully siudy every proposal, from within and without this House, forstreamlining our operations, eliminating what is wasteful or obsolete, and ensuring that the mandatesentrusted to the Secretary-General are carried out faithfully, accurately, and without delay.

I come to the post of Secretary-General inspired by the Charter and full of hope, faith, andcommitment commitment to join with Member States, with the Secretariat, and with the "peoples ofthe United Nations" in search of intellectual creativity, political imagination and dynamism to help ourOrganization meet the challenge of a rapidly changing world.

The vision of the Charter of the United Nations is as valid today, after the end of the cold war,as it was in 1945, before the beginning of the cold war. I call for the cooperation and assistance of allwho can help to transform the noble objectives of the Charter into reality.

Fourthly, I wish to stress the United Nations role in strengthening fundamental freedoms anddemocratic institutions, which constitute an essential and indispensable stage in the economic and social

development of nations.If there is no development without democracy, there can also be no democracy without

development. Although it is difficult to determine whether to start with development in order to obtaindemocracy, or to begin democracy in order to obtain development, it is obvious that the guarantee offundamental freedoms and the protection of the human rights of both men and women constitutes aprerequisite that the United Nations must promote.

That being said, we must not see democracy as a magic potion which will cure all ills. Nor mustdemocracy devour its institutions and degenerate into ethnic or tribal conflicts that create a micro-nationalism which will hinder all development, peace, and security.

Finally, United Nations activities to promote democracy must not become a means of interventionin the internal affairs of Member States.

We have mentioned the role of the United Nations in strengthening democratic institutions withinMember States, and we must also stress the importance of democracy at the inter-State level. Thedemocratization of international relations should complete and amplify the democratization of nationalinstitutions. This dual process can create a new dynamic for national peace and stability, which is asimportant as international peace and stability.

I should like to conclude the brief statement with three comments:First of all, I wish to pay tribute to Javier Perez de Cuellar for his admirable achievements throughouta decade in the service of peace. I owe him my thanks for the wise and fraternal advice he has sogenerously given me, and from which I shall continue to benefit.

Secondly, I wish to apologize for not speaking in Chinese, Spanish or Russian in order to relaythis message to those who speak these official languages.

Finally, I wish to say, and to repeat to the international staff, to the representatives of MemberStates, and to the heads of the specialized agencies that we shall work together to revitalize the UnitedNations, that we shall fight together for peace and security, that together we shall help our worldOrganization to face challenges of the twenty-first century.

Reading on Cambodia

Cambodia is one of the smaller nations in Southeast Asia. Geographically,in the East, North and West, Cambodia is bordered by South Vietnam, Laos andThailand; in the South it is bordered by the Gulf of Siam. Its boundariesrepresent all the remains from the former land of Cham who became a largerKhmer Empire of today. For centuries, Cambodia has been a monarchy, with theking the top of the power. The actual power of the sovereign was interruptedfor almost 100 years during the French domination (1863-1953), but during thatperiod the people of Cambodia always corsidered their king as their temporaland spiritual leader.

Cambodia has 66,000 square miles, approximately the size of WashingtonState. The seasonal alternation of winds called monsoons determines both therainfall and temperature throughout the country during the year. The Southwestor rainy monsoon which reaches Cambodia in May and lasts until October,brings heavy rainfall throughout the country. The Northwest or dry monsnonblows in from October to April and brings the dry season. The normal temperatureis 80 degrees F.

About half of the country is filled with forests and woods and, of the24,000 square miles of arable land, only one-third is under cultivation. Nearthe center of the country is the Tonle Sap, the largest fresh-water lake inSoutheast Asia; the Mekong River traverses through Cambodia from North to South.The central portion is the plainland where most people live. There are riversand tributaries in this area. Mountain ranges exist in the East, Northeast andSouthwest of the country.

Cambodia has a population of 7 million. The numerically dominant ethnicgroup is the Khmer with 85% of the total population. Chinese and Vietnameseeach make up 7%, and the remaining 8% includes the Khmer Loeu tribal groups,Cam-Malays, Thai, Laotians and Filipinos.

Khmer is the national language, spoken by over 90% of the population b;itFrench is the accepted language in the intellectual and professional circles.Most of the secondary and post-secondary education programs were conducted inFrench. Members of the various minority groups speak their native language butthey can speak Khmer as well. The Khmer Loeu Tribal groups speak a number oflanguages, some of them were distantly related to Khmer, although they are notmutually intelligible.

Religion in Cambodia is very important. The Theravada Buddhism is theofficial national religion and is practiced by at least 85% of the population.Other religions such as Moslems, Mahayana, Buddhism and Roman Catholic werealso practiced by different small groups of people. The Khmer Loeu practicesa veriety of animist beliefs.

The economy of Cambodia is agrarian with rice, a popular product of Cambodia.Agriculture is the mainstay of the economy and employes 4/5 of the male population.The soils are fertile and the climate is well suited to intensive growing of crobs, 1111vegetables and fruits. The harvest is used mainly for rural household suhsistance.Rice and corn surpluses are exported, and rubber is grown on large state-ownedplantations, also for export. Industry is small in scale with considerable stateparticipation. Industry is confined largely to the processing of agriculture 22products particularly rice, fish, and rubber and making a few consumer items.

Lesson 5

The United Nations: Peacemaking in Cambodia

"Constantly rebuffed but never discouraged ,

they went around from state to state helping peopleto settle their differences, arguing against wanton attack

and pleading for the suppression of arms, that the age In whichthey lived might be saved from its state of continual war.To this end

they interviewed princes and lectured the common people,nowhere meeting with any great success, but obstinately

persisting in their task, til kings and comiloners grewweary of them. Yet undeterred they continued to

force themselves on people's attention."A description of his followersby Sung Tzu

a Chinese philospopher of the 4th Century B C

If your school has a conflict resolution model, check to see about itsstrengths and weaknesses, and make suggestions to improve it from today'sdiscussion. Or discuss creating a model for your school with the appropriate"key players".

Handout 5A

Reading from the United Nations"Agreements on the Comprehensive Political Settlement

of the Cambodia Conflict"

Helpful hints for giving a report on this reading.

1. Use Handout 58 for your basic outline of the reading based on chronologyand key developments. Also Handouts 4C, 4D, 7B are good resources.

2. Your main goal is to share the "spirit" of negotiation, the time committment,the difficulties of compromise and yet the satisfaction of completion. Highlightthose points that support these elements of negotiation. Check discussionquestions in lesson.

3. You may need to list some vocabulary for your classmates. Be sure to readthe expectations in the Learning Sequence of the lesson.

4. Don't get "bogged down" in detail. These questions might help you:

* Name 2-3 major points of the original framework proposed by the Secretary-General.* What were 2-3 points of the working document presented at the first JIMmeeting? What was the MOST pressing issue for Cambodia, according tothe Secretary-General?* What were the 3 main points of the draft aggreement? What were thesticking points?* What does the Agreement ACTUALLY provide for?

5. Let your classmates know that details of the agreement will be covered inLesson 6.

6. Good luck. You are educating yourself and your classmates on the "art ofnegotiation".

the 13-year conflict inCambodia and preparethat South-East Asiannation for elections wassigned in Paris on 23October. Secretary-General Javier Perez deCuellar in a note (S/23179)to the Security Council on30 October described fourmajor documents adoptedby the Paris Conferenceon Cambodia (PCC).These included: the Con-ference's Final Act; anagreement on a compre-hensive political settle-ment of the Cambodianconflict, with annexes onthe mandate for the UNTransitional Authority inCambodia (UNTAC), mili-tary matters, elections,repatriation of Cambodianrefugees and displacedpersons, and the princi-ples of a new Cambodianconstitution; an agree-ment concerning the sov-ereignty, independence,territorial integrity andinviolability, neutralityand national unity ofCambodia; and a declara-tion on the rehabilitationand reconstruction ofthat country.

Meeting in Paris on 23 October 1991.

In the Final Act, States thatparticipated in the ConferenceAustralia, Brunei Darussalam,Cambodia, Canada, China, France,India, Indonesia, Japan, Lao People'sDemocratic Republic, Malaysia,Philippines, Singapore, Thailand,USSR, United Kingdom, UnitedStates and Viet Namcommittedthemselves to promote andencourage respect for and observ-ance of human rights and fundamen-tal freedoms in Cambodia.

They asked the International Com-mittee of the Red Cross (ICRC) tofacilitate the release of prisoners of warand civilian internees and expressed

46

their readiness to assist the ICRCin that task. The international com-munity was urged to provide gener-ous economic and financial supportto assist Cambodia in rehabilitationand reconstruction tasks.

In unanimously adopting resolu-tion 718 (1991) on 31 October, theCouncil called on all Cambodianparties to comply fully with thenew cease-fire arrangements andasked the Secretary-General tosubmit his implementation plan,including a detailed cost estimate ofUNTAC. It also called on theSupreme National Council (SNC)of Cambodia and all Cambodians

Page 54: DOCUMENT RESUME Sorenson, Mary Eileen; And …DOCUMENT RESUME SO 025 397 Sorenson, Mary Eileen; And Others The United Nations Peace Action Plan. Case Study--Cambodia. A Curriculum

to cooperate fully with the UN inimplementing the Paris agreements.

The Council also welcomed theSecretary-General's intention tosend a survey mission to Cambodiaas soon as possible.

The UN Advance Mission inCambodia (UNAMIC) had beenestablished by the Council on 16October in its adoption of resolu-tion 717 (1991). Thc Missionbecame operational shortly after thesigning of the Paris agreements andwould exist until it is absorbed intoUNTAC. UNAMIC is to assist.inmaintaining the cease-fire, facilitatecommunications between the mili-tary headquarters of the fourCambodian parties, train civilianpopulations on how to avoid injuryfrom mines or booby traps andensure liaison between theSecretary-General and the SNC.

'Turning a new page'The Secretary-General signed the

Final Act of the PCC, which hadbeen called again into session by itsCo-Chairrnen--French ForeignMinister Roland Dumas andIndonesian Foreign MinisterMi Alatas.

In addressing the Conference,Mr. Perez de Cuellar recalledthat French President FrancoisMitterrand had proposed conveningthe Conference in July 1989. Incooperation with Indonesia, Francehad invited the UN to join in aproject, "which seemed somewhatambitious at the time", he said, ofachieving a negotiated solution tothe question of Cambodia and,thus, "putting an end to the suffer-ing imposed on the Cambodianpeople during two decades of warand destruction".

The settlement, he went on,should make it possible to "turn anew page" in Cambodia's historyand encourage the advent of an eraof peace, stability and cooperationin South-East Asia. Cambodianshad accelerated the negotiation

process by recognizing that the mili-tary option had led them to an impasseand had worked towards nationalreconciliation "bascd on reciprocalconcessions and constructive, respon-sible dialogue".

The UN, the Secretary-Generalsaid, had been assigned a "majorand unprecedented" role. Heexpected UNTAC to be "the big-gest and most complex" operationin UN history.

UNTAC would supervise thecease-fire and the cessation of out-side military assistance and verifythe withdrawal of foreign forces, beresponsible for the regroupmentand cantonment of all armed forcesof the Cambodian parties andensure a 70 per cent level of dis-armament and demobilization. Itwould also help to detect and clearminefields, which represented adaily danger for the civilian popula-tion and a barrier to resumption ofall normal economic activity.

Neutral politicalenvironment

The UN would also be responsi-ble for controlling or supervising,in varying degrees, thc activities ofthe existing administrative struc-

tures, including the police, and forensuring promotion of and respectfor human rights, so that theCambodian people would not "againbe exposed to the grave abuses ofthe past", the Secretary-Generaltold the Conference. The primarygoal was to encourage a neutralpolitical environment in whichCambodians could freely determinetheir future within the frameworkof democratic elections organizedand conducted by the UN.

Repatriated refugees and dis-placed persons should vote in theelections. The repatriation processwas a parallel measure to launch aUN programme to rehabilitate andreconstruct Cambodia.

The effectiveness and ultimatelythe success of UN intervention wereclosely dependent on the full andcomplete cooperation of all theparties concerned, he said.

Once peace had been achieved, itmust be made a lasting peace, hestressed. The SNC would play akey role in that respect. During thetransitional period, the SNC, inwhich Cambodia's sovereigntywould be embodied, would be thesymbol of national reconciliation.based on the higher interest ofCambodia and its people.

Page 55: DOCUMENT RESUME Sorenson, Mary Eileen; And …DOCUMENT RESUME SO 025 397 Sorenson, Mary Eileen; And Others The United Nations Peace Action Plan. Case Study--Cambodia. A Curriculum

1111 CHEM:ICU, March 1992

However, peace could remainephemeral if the Cambodian peopleand some of its immediate neigh-bours continued to live in destitu-tion and poverty, the Secretary-General observed. "Achieving peace isan ongoing battle", he concluded.

'Historic occasion'In adopting resolution 46118

without a vote on 20 November, theGenera! Assembly fully supportedthe Paris Agreements which wouldmaintain, preserve and guaranteeCambodia's sovereignty, indepen-dence, territorial integrity andinviolability, neutrality and nationalunity. All parties concerned wereurged to implement fully theAccords, in close cooperationwith UNTAC.

The Assembly also called uponthe relevant parties to ensurerespect for and full observance ofthe human rights and fundamentalfreedoms of the Cambodian peopleand assist them in exercising theirright to self-determination.

Assembly President Samir S.Shihabi of Saudi Arabia said theconsensus text marked "an historicoccasion for the people ofCambodia".

On 7 November, the Secretary-General reported (A/461617) that thetransitional period in Cambodiawould continue until thc newCambodian government wasformed, in accordance with thesettlement agreement.

While it was gratifying that theUN had been given wide-rangingresponsibilities for implementingthe Accords, substantial human andfinancial resources would be neededand innovative procedures wouldhave to be devised to complete suchtasks.

Also, intensified military activityin western Cambodia during thefirst part of 1991 had resulted in

renewed movements of large num-bers of people across the Thai/Cambodian border to UN BorderRelief Operation camps inThailand. The UN High Commis-sioner for Refugees would carry outrepatriation measures. Until then,those refugees should not be movedback to Cambodia prematurely.

UNAMIC beginsoperations

On 9 November, UNAMIC, withheadquarters in Phnom Penh, offi-cially began operations. An advanceteam of some 268 persons was tobe deployed by year's end.

Among States contributing mili-tary personnel to the Mission were:Algeria, Argentina, Australia,Belgium, Canada, China, France,Germany, Ghana, India, Indonesia,Ireland, Malaysia, New Zealand,Pakistan, Poland, Senegal, Tunisia,USSR, United Kingdom, UnitedStates and Uruguay.

A. H. S. Ataul Karim ofBangladesh was named UNAMICHead and Chief Liaison Officer.

re-

55

He had served as his country'sAmbassador to the United Statesand to the UN. Brigadier-GeneralMichel Loridon of France was itsSenior Military Liaison Officer.

The General Assembly on 20December approved $14,319,200 forthe UNAMIC operation from 1November 1991 to 30 April 1992.

On 30 December, the Secretary-General recommended (S/23331) tothe Security Council that UNAMICalso provide training in mine clear-ance. Concurrently, a de-miningprogramme would be initiatedurgently in northwest Cambodia totake maximum advantage of thedry season. Roads and bridgeswould also be repaired.

In a 28 December statement(A/47/63-S/23335) issued in NewYork, the Council's five permanentmembers appealed to all Cambo-dian parties to contribute to thedevelopment of the process ofnational reconciliation and themaintenance of peace by strictlyrespecting all agreements, includingthose related to assuring all neces-sary conditions for the normal func-tioning of the SNC in Phnom Penh.

ment of the Cambodia Conflict, which entered intoforce on 23 October 1991, invited the Security Council

to establish the United Nations Transitional Authority

in Cambodia (UNTAC) and to provide it with the man-

date set forth in the Agreement. The Council fully sup-

ported the Agreement in its resolution 718 (1991) of 31

October 1991, and requested the Secretary-General to

prepare a detailed plan of implementation.

Under the Agreement, the Supreme National Coun-

cil of Calmbodia (SNC) is "the unique legitimate body

and source of authority in which, throughout the tran-

sitional period, the sovereignty, independence and unity

of Cambodia are enshrined". The SNC, which is made

up of the four Cambodian factions and is under the

chairmanship of Prince Norodom Sihanouk, hasdelegated to the United Nations "all powers necessary"

to ensure the implementation of the Agreement. The

transitional period commences with the entry into force

of the Agreement and terminates when the constituent

assembly elected in conformity with the Agreement has

approved the new Cambodian Constitution and trans-

formed itself into a legislative assembly, and thereafter

a new Cambodian Government has been created.

49-- -1

Prior to the establishment and deployment ofUNTAC, the Secretary-General had, on 30 September

1991, recommended that the United Nations deploy a

small advance mission in Cambodia to assist the Cam-

bodian parties to maintain the cease-fire. Based on.this

recommendation, the Security Council, by its resolu-

tion 717 (1991) of 16 October 1991, decided to establish

the United Nations Advance Mission in Cambodia

(UNAMIC) immediately after the signing of the Agree-

ment. UNAMIC became operational on 9 November

1991. It consisted of civilian and military liaison staff.

a military mine-awareness unit, and logistics and sup-

port personnel. On 8 January 1992. by its resolution

728 (1992), the Council expanded the mandate of

UNAMIC to include training in mine clearance forCambodians and the initiation of a mine-clearing pro-

gramme.

ESTABLISHMENT OF UNTAC

On 19 February 1992, the Secretary-General submit-

ted to the Security Council a report containing his pro-

posed implementation plan. The Council approved that

report and, by its resolution 745 (1992) of 28 Febru-

ary, established UNTAC under its authority for a period

Page 57: DOCUMENT RESUME Sorenson, Mary Eileen; And …DOCUMENT RESUME SO 025 397 Sorenson, Mary Eileen; And Others The United Nations Peace Action Plan. Case Study--Cambodia. A Curriculum

not to exceed 18 months. Upon becoming operational

on 15 March 1992, UNTAC absorbed UNAMIC.

UNTAC's strength varies according to the phase of

operations, with between 15.000 and 20,000 military

and civilian personnel present at the peak time. In ad-

dition. UNTAC international staff will be supplemented

by tens of thousands of locally recruited staff, most of

them during elections. UNTAC is headed by the Spe-

cial Representative of the Secretary-General,

Mr. Yasushi Akashi (Japan). Headquarters personnel

include executive management, a coordination and liai-

son team, human rights. political, legal and economic

advisers, an information service and support staff.

UNTAC consists of seven distinct components.

Human rights component. The Agreement givesUNTAC the responsibility during the transitional period

for fostering an environment in which respect forhuman rights and fundamental freedoms is ensured.

UNTAC's activities in this regard comprise threeaspects: a human rights education programme; general

human rights oversight in all existing administrative

structures in Cambodia; and a mechanism for the in-

vestigation of allegations of human rights abuses oc-

curring during the transitional period.

Civil administration component. In order to ensure a

neutral political environment conducive to free and fair

general elections. UNTAC will exercise direct control

over existing administrative structures acting in the field

of foreign affairs, national defence, finance, public secu-

rity and information. UNTAC will, as determined in

consultation with SNC, exercise a lesser degree of scru-

tiny over other administrative structures that could in-

fluence the outcome of the elections. The component

will also comprise an office for training and an office

for complaints and investigation.

The human rights and civil administration compo-

nents will consist of specialists, assisted by international

support staff. They will operate at the central level.

from offices to be established at the 21 provincial and

municipal centres and, particularly as regards dissemi-

nation of information and civic education, from offices

at all of the estimated 200 districts in the country.

50 6

Electoral component. The Agreement entrusts UNTA

with the organization and conduct of free and fairgeneral elections in Cambodia. UNTAC is to cgahlish.

in consultation with SNC, a legal framework includ-

ing an electoral law and regulations to govern the elec-

toral process and an electoral code of conduct. Other

aspects include civic education and training, registra-

tion of voters and political parties, and the polling pro-

cess itself. The Special Representative will be assisted

in these responsibilities by a chief electoral officer. An

Electoral Advisory Committee will be appointed by the

Special Representative to ensure the prevention and

control of election irregularities. International staff in-

clude: electoral personnel at headquarters; personnel

at the 21 provincial offices, responsible for electoral

operations. information, training, communications.

compliance and complaints, and coordination; and dis-

trict electoral supervisors at approximately 200 district

offices. Their number will be augmented by approxi-

mately 1,000 international personnel seconded from

Governments during the polling process.

Military component. The military component. heade

by a Force Commander, is charged with the following

main functions: verification of the withdrawal from

Cambodia and non-return of all categories of foreign

forces and their arms and equipment; supervision of the

cease-fire and related measures, including regroupment,

cantonment. disarming and demobilization of forces of

the Cambodian parties; weapons control, including

monitoring the cessation of outside military assistance,

locating and confiscating caches of weapons and mili-

tary supplies throughout Cambodia, storing of the arms

and equipment of the cantoned and the demobilized

military forces; assisting with mine:clearance, includ-

ing training programmes and mine awarenessprogrammes. In addition, the military component is

charged with undertaking investigations, on complaint

from one of the parties or on its own, of alleged non-

compliance with any of the provisions relating to mili-

tary arrangements, and to provide assistance in relation

to the release of prisoners of war and in the repatria-

tion of Cambodian refugees and displaced persons.

At maximum strength during the peak of its activity

the military component of UNTAC will comprisc abou

15.900 all ranks, including force headquarters and sector

headquarters staff: military observer group: infantry;

engineer element; air support group; signals unit; med-

ical unit; military police; logistic battalion: and naval

element.

Police component. UNTAC civilian police monitors will

supervise or control the local civil police in order to

ensure that law and order are maintained effectively

and impartially, and that human rights and fundamen-

tal freedoms are fully protected. The structure of the

UNTAC civilian police component will include a policy

and manaeement unit at headquarters. 21 units at the

provincial level and 200 district-level units. There will

be a total of about 3.600 UNTAC civilian policemonitors.

Repatriation component. The repatriation and resettle-

ment of Cambodian refugees and displaced persons is

to be an inter-agency effort with the Office of the United

Nations High Commissioner for Refugees designated

as the lead agency. The effort will include the move-

ment of returnees, the provision of immediate assistance

and food, and a reintegration programme. The compo-

nent will be headed by a Director for repatriation, ap-

pointed by the Secretary-General and reporting to the

Special Representative as well as to the High Commis-

sioner.

Rehabilitation component. The rehabilitation effort will

be headed by a Coordinator appointed by the Secretary-

General and reporting to the Special Representative.

He will ensure efficient and effective coordination,

make ongoing assessments of needs, and ensure that

they arc being met without duplication or overlap. Par-

ticular attention will be given to food security, health.

housing. training, education, the transport network and

the restoration of Cambodia's basic infrastructure and

public utilities. In addition. the Coordinator will have

responsibilities related to raising resources through

donor contributions.

Time Six 15 minute periods

Background informationIn May, 1993, the Cambodian people, in an internationally supervised election,elected delegates to the new National Assembly, which had the responsibility ofwriting a constitution to establish a government for Cambodia. Of the four groupsrepresented in the National Council for Cambodia (see

Handout 7B), the party supporting Prince Sihanouk, the royalist opposition party, won58 of 120 seats in the national assembly. The party supporting the Vietnameseinstalled government received 51 seats.

The Khmer Rouge, although signing the 1991 Peace Agreement, boycotted theelection because they feared the government would use intimidation to win.

It may be very helpful for students to review information on Handouts 4D, 6A and 6Bbefore doing this lesson.

Introduction15 minutesExplain to students that they are to be part of a roundtable conference on Cambodia.This conference is to take place in the Summer of 1993, immediatly following theelections.

Their task, while roleplaying members of the international community that negotiatedthe U.N. Cambodian Peace Agreement, is to address one or two challenges (Handout7A) to Cambodia's efforts to establish a government which can build and maintainpeace.

Tell the students that fourteen participants, countries as well as the National Council ofCambodia, will be represented at the conference and that one student will representone of these. Other students will act as aides and advisors to a particularrepresentative.

Have students read and choose one of the challenges to peace listed on Handout 7A,reported in the press before and after the May, 1993 election. Students can beencouraged to develop other challenges based on developments not covered inHandout 7A.

Learning Sequence

30 minutes1. Distribute Handout 7B. Divide students into fourteen groups and have each groupchoose ("pick out of the hat") one of the profiles listed on Handout 7B. This is eachgroup's designated profile that they will role-play during a roundtable conference onthe chosen challenge.

2. Have each group:

" work together on addressing one of the challenges on Handout 7A from theperspective of their profile

53

6,1

Page 61: DOCUMENT RESUME Sorenson, Mary Eileen; And …DOCUMENT RESUME SO 025 397 Sorenson, Mary Eileen; And Others The United Nations Peace Action Plan. Case Study--Cambodia. A Curriculum

* select a spokesperson to role play their profile in a roundtable discussion on the

challenge* use Handouts 4D, 6A and 68 as resources for preparing their responses

30 minutes3. Put the Co-Chairs and roundtable participants (roleplaying their profiles)in an innercircle, the rest of the class as observers in an outer circle.

The roundtable is to discuss the challenge and suggest possible responses. Theseresponses could be based on specific parts of the 1991 "Agreements on theComprehensive Political Settlement of the Cambodia Conflict".

The responses also could take the form of suggestions for future U.N. Peace Plans,

recognizing limitations of the 1991 Agreement. If appropriate, voting on suggestionsmight be possible. Or a sub-group could agree to work on a negotiated resolution to

bring back to the roundtable.

If there seems to be no agreement, have group discuss the difficulities of coming to acompromise. The group may want to establish time limitations.

4. Students in outer circle should record evidence of negotiating skills, evidence ofadversarial exchanges, and possible resolution suggestions. After discussion, outercircle share observations with roundtable.

5. Together discuss accuracy of the role playing, the challenges of negotiating, andidentify possible solutions. (You can continue the process with different students role-playing, covering other or all challenges.)

15 minutes6. Discussion:

* What do these challenges to peace suggest about the frailty of the peace plan?

* If you had a chance, what suggestions would you give members of the newlyelected national assembly ?

* This Cambodian peace process reveals that it is difficult and expensive to "wage"peace. Is it worth it? To what extent is it dependent on the individual's commitmentto peacekeeping and peacebuilding? To what extent is it dependent on thecommitment of national groups,and the international community?

* Are individuals you know committed to "waging" peace? Is your neighborhoodand community committed? Is our nation? Our world? Is it worth it for you?

* Have the students compare their results with what actually has happened in

54

Page 62: DOCUMENT RESUME Sorenson, Mary Eileen; And …DOCUMENT RESUME SO 025 397 Sorenson, Mary Eileen; And Others The United Nations Peace Action Plan. Case Study--Cambodia. A Curriculum

Cambodia since the election. Ask the students to evaluate the progress made inCambodia and to try and determine how Cambodia might be different if studentroundtable ideas had been in place after the election.

Closure

Explore with students what happens when diverse groups are working together tosolve a problem and one of those groups continually rejects ideas out of apparent self-interest. What happens to the process? What happens to communication between thegroups?

Explore with students similar situations in their own ccmmunity. How do diversegroups in your community resolve conflicts? Are groups able to get beyond their ownself-interest?

Create some audio/visual expression that reflects the time, energy and money neededto "give peace a chance". Target it for your school or community. Contact appropriatepeople to display your efforts.

Extension of Lesson* Have students participate in a Model Security Council meeting on some of thechallenges. For information on "how to" do this contact: UNA-USA. (See reource listbelow)

* Have students participate in a Model U.N. For information on "how to" do this contact:UNA-USA. (SeeUNA-USA resource list below)

* Have students read Agenda for Peace (in Appendix) and report to class on theUnited Nations collaborative work with international organizations and regionalpolitical groups in addressing the root causes challenging the peace initiative.

* Invite speakers from your local UNA to come and discuss the U.N. peacebuildingplan.

Challenges to Peace in Cambodia

Background notes: Throughout the pre-election period, all Cambodian parties ofthe SNC challenged the U.N. Peace Plan in a variety of ways. These challengesrevealed powerful self interests. This challenge uses one of the parties, the KhmerRouge as an example of this self interest.

Information on Challenge #1: The Khmer Rouge frequently appeared to be aroadblock to peace. They were second only to the Hun Sen government in terms ofmilitary strength. They had the best trained and most experienced army as well asbeing well equiped. By November, 1992, the other three parties of SNC haddemobilized nearly all of their troops. Reports had been made that the Khmer Rougecontinued to set aside weapons and ammunition in the Cardomom Mountains inwestern Cambodia for later use. Its forces had been accused of shelling a U.N.

position in Siem Reap province.

Previous to the May,1993 election, the Khmer Rouge continued to build roads andacquire territory in the gem-rich northern province of Preah Vihear, and pushed intothe gold-mining region of Kompong Thom and the forests of Kompong Cham. KhmerRouge traded in gems and timber with Thailand continues to flourish.

Although U.N. personnell were successful in returning most refugees to theirCambodian homes, in October of 1991, the Khmer Rouge military leaders at refugeecamp #8 along the Thai border announced that they would repatriate Cambodianrefugees from the camp into Khmer Rouge occupied provinces. In response to some of

the above actions, the U.N. Security Council banned export of petroleum andpetroleum products to areas held by the Khmer Rouge in an attempt to force them tocooperate in the peace process.

Khmer Rouge forces also seized U.N. peacekeepers and later released them on fourdifferent occasions in one month. During the elections the Khmer Rouge threatened aviolent disruption of the election process. This never happened, but the Khmer Rougeremain outside the process and threaten to disrupt the workings of the newgovernment. Their control of mineral rich resource areas also threatens the ability ofthe new government to help Cambodia achieve economic stability.

Challenge #1- How would you, as a member of the internationalroundtable, address the on-going challenge of the Khmer Rouge? Towhat extent should the Internationbal community be involved in assistingCambodia with this challenge?"Note to each representative-Formulate a clear response to each challenge with goals and specificoutcomes. This should form the basis of any compromise that you may want to make through thenegotiations.

Challenges to Peace in Cambodia

Information on Challenge #2: Establishing political unity following the electionremained a major challenge for Cambodia. After the election, Cambodia's shaky unitywas challenged by groups who failed to win majority support during the election.

Prince Norodom Chakrapong, son of Prince Sihanouk and a deputy Prime Minister ofthe Vietnamese installed Government which lost the election, announced that his partywould not accept the results of the election. He announced that he and other"renegade" elements of the current government would seize seven eastern provincesand create an autonomous state there.

His half brother, Prince Norodom Ranariddh, the leader of the party which won theelection said that he would order his troops to take up arms to stop his half brother andkeep Cambodia unified. Eventually these forces removed the threat. Howvever,theseactions, and others like them, presented a major obstacle to a unified Cambodia andto the development of a new constitution which would be fair to all parties inCambodia.

Challenge #2 As a member of the international roundtable, whatsuggestions and assurances can you offer to preserve a unifiedCambodia. Only with this assurance can the National Assembly constructa new constitution which reflect the needs of the country and itsconstituents and what should appear in that constitution which wouldhelp to guarantee a unified Cambodia.

To what extent should the international community be involved inassisting Cambodia with this challenge?

**Note to each representative-Formulate a clear response to each challenge withgoals and specific outcomes. This should form the basis of any compromise that youmay want to make through the negotiations.

Lesson 8

Designing A Peace PlanAbroad and at Home

"Peacemaking is selflessness taking root.To make peace , the skills of teamwork and cooperation are essential.

There Is little we can do for peace as long as we feel we are the only oneswho know the way. We must decide that making peace

is more important than making war.Venerable Maha Ghosananda

A

Page 69: DOCUMENT RESUME Sorenson, Mary Eileen; And …DOCUMENT RESUME SO 025 397 Sorenson, Mary Eileen; And Others The United Nations Peace Action Plan. Case Study--Cambodia. A Curriculum

Your documentary must include the following:* Brief history of conflict; example of recent tension* Identity of the kmajor players" both within area of conflict and other "interested"parties* Identity of 2-3 points of contention; and the desires and wishes of the adversaries* Explanation of the role of the U.N. and kinds of U.N. "peace action" taken thus far* Suggestions for possible solutions that would peace-build (similar to CambodiaPlan)* Possible design of a Peace Plan for

It would be best if your documentary was a group effort. It can take any form youchoose. As a group, determine reponsibilities, timelines and presentation.

Step 2As a UN Peacebuilding specialist from you read/hear of thedocumentary on "hot spot", . You develop a resolution based on thedocumentary to be debated in the UN Security Council.

Step 3 (optional)Model Security Council Meeting (see resource list)
