Policy Dialogue No.8. Denne rapporten tar for seg fire utfordringer: 1) Den afrikanske Unions (AU) Kommisjons begrensede kapasitet i å planlegge og styre fredsoperasjoner; 2) utilstrekkelig politisk engasjement fra afrikanske medlemmer i AU fredsoperasjoner; 3) Kortsiktigheten og egeninteressen hos enkelte AU-partnere; 4) og behovet for at de faste medlemmene av FNs sikkerhetsråd deler verdier og sikrer en felles AU-FN-strategi.

(2012). Gender-Sensitive Protection and the Responsibility to Prevent: Lessons from Chad ,
in Global Responsibility to Protect, Volume 4, Issue 2
.Brill.s. 223 – 240 .The R2P concept relates as much to preventing mass atrocities as to halt on-going ones. This article emphasises the gender dimensions of prevention of and protection against violence and other threats, in order to stress the importance of implementing and mainstreaming gender into R2P. The case study here is the UN support mission to Chad and the Central African Republic (MINURCAT) that provided a fairly encouraging, albeit short-lived, example of gender-responsive measures at the community level for refugees and IDPs in eastern Chad.
