Etnik Temelli Çatışmalara BM Müdahalesi: Ruanda ve Bosna

Birleşmiş Milletler (BM) barış operasyonlarının yirmi birinciyüzyıldaki en büyük imtihanı Ruanda ve Bosna soykırımlarıdır. Bununnedeni, BM’nin her iki ülkede de yaşanan soykırımı önlemede yetersizkalmasıdır. Bu yüzden, bu iki vaka çalışması tesadüfen seçilmemiştir. İkivaka çalışmasında etnik nefretin doğurduğu soykırım sonucununyanında BM barış operasyonlarının Ruanda ve Bosna’daki rolünedeğinilecektir. Böylelikle, bu çalışma üç ana soruya cevap verecektir.İlki, Ruanda ve Bosna’daki etnik nefretin kaynağı ve soykırımdaki rolünedir? İkincisi, Ruanda ve Bosna gibi etnik savaşlarda BM’nin rolünedir? Son olarak, Ruanda ve Bosna soykırımının etnik nedenlere dayalıbenzerlikleri ve farklılıkları nelerdir? Bu bağlamda etnik ve ırksalfarklılıkların her iki ülkede de soykırımına yol açtığı ve BMmüdahalesinin etnik nefret seviyesinin çok yüksek olmasından dolayıRuanda ve Bosna’daki müdahalesinin etkili olamadığını sonucunavarılmıştır.

UN Intervention in Ethnic Based Conflicts: Rwanda and Bosnia

The biggest test of UN peacekeeping operations in the 21st century is the genocides in Rwanda and Bosnia. This is because the UN was incapable of preventing the genocide that took place in both countries. Therefore, these two case studies were not chosen by chance. In two case studies, the role of UN peacekeeping operations in Rwanda and Bosnia, as well as the outcome of genocide caused by ethnic hatred, will be addressed. Thus, this study will answer three main questions. Firstly, what is the origin of ethnic hatred in Rwanda and Bosnia and its role in the genocide? Secondly, What is the role of UN in ethnic wars such as Rwanda and Bosnia? Lastly, What are the similarities and differences between Rwanda and Bosnia genocide based on ethnic reasons? In this context, it was concluded that ethnic and racial differences caused genocide in both countries and the UN intervention in Rwanda and Bosnia could not be effective due to the high level of ethnic hatred.
