The Elephant in the Room: How Can Peace Operations Deal with Organized Crime?
A Sri Lankan peacekeeper from United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti (MINUSTAH) patrols the slum of Martissant in the southern hills of Haiti capital Port-au-Prince

By using case studies from Guinea-Bissau, Haiti, and Kosovo, this paper not only illustrates the nature of the problem, it provides recommendations on how peace agents can deal with it more effectively.
