African Peacekeeping Mechanism Construction And China's Participation

As UN peacekeeping operations shift from “conflict resolution” to "peacekeeping","conflict prevention",and "peacebuilding",the protection of civilians and the resolution of political issues have become the main content of UN peacekeeping,due to the contributions of the UN Security Council,the Secretariat and major peacekeeping resources There is a problem of poor coordination among the three countries.The African Union cannot independently handle security affairs in the African region on the basis of its own weakness.Therefore,the innovation and reform of the African peacekeeping mechanism are also imperative.In recent years,the African Union and African subregional organizations are eager to take more independent control of African affairs and regain their lost discourse autonomy.However,due to the imperfect political system,low economic development level,political turmoil,and lack of a strong emergency mechanism,it is difficult to achieve the wish solely by the AU itself.Under this background,the United Nations has followed the trend to build a partnership with the AU.At the same time,Western powers such as the United States,Britain,France and other countries have gradually lost interest in peacekeeping operations in Africa,showing signs of fatigue and gradually reducing their actual support for UN peacekeeping operations.Without the strong support of traditional powers,this is undoubtedly Organize a gradual blow to the process of regional security affairs in Africa.Since China's reform and opening up,its economic development has shown rapid development.The increase in overall strength has enabled China to increase its enthusiasm and confidence in participating in peacekeeping operations in Africa.Unlike unilateralism advocated by the United States,China strictly abides by the framework of United Nations multilateralism and actively undertakes peacebuilding tasks in Africa.With the development of peacekeeping operations,China will undoubtedly promote the innovation and reform of African peacekeeping mechanisms in more aspects and at a deeper level,highlight China's wisdom,and offer Chinese solutions to the world.At present,there are structural problems of power between the United Nations and the African Union during the operation of the African peacekeeping mechanism.The question of when and by whom the two sides will lead is more judged by past peacekeeping experience,and there is no clear communication mechanism;With the continuous awakening of African autonomy,the issue of the boundary betweenprotection responsibility and national sovereignty in the course of UN peacekeeping operations in Africa has caused obvious controversy,which has brought certain challenges to maintenance operations.Not the same.In response to these issues,China has actively promoted the reform and construction of the African peacekeeping mechanism.By actively taking on the role of “middleman” between the United Nations and the African Union,it has pushed the United Nations and the African Union to further deepen the building of partnerships.The implementation of the mechanism avoids large-scale outbreaks of conflicts and normalizes early peacekeeping mechanisms;it advocates multilateral peacekeeping within the framework of the United Nations and promotes the peaceful resolution of crises in the African region.Chinese characteristics.
