Annual Review of Global Peace Operations 2011
 
 The Annual Review of Global Peace Operations 2011 is the most comprehensive publication of its kind, covering both UN and non-UN peace operations during 2010. The Review provides analysis and detailed data on UN, AU, NATO, EU, and ad hoc peacekeeping missions. The focus of the 2011 edition is on peacekeeping transitions, including the withdrawal of peacekeepers and the handing over of responsibility to national authorities, another international presence, or other regional and local actors.

Review of Civilian Capacity
As communities emerge from conflict, they often face a critical shortage of capacities needed to secure a sustainable peace. Yet the UN struggles both to recruit and deploy the range of expertise required, and to transfer skills and knowledge to national actors. Against this background, the UN Secretary-General released an important report in March 2011. The report proposes practical, concrete measures to improve civilian support to conflict affected countries. It foresees a core of United Nations staff, working more closely with host communities, and supported by civilians from Member States, regional organizations and civil society.
