Part of the reforms that Kofi Annan tried to bring in, which Ambassador Bolton—who's now at NSA in the United States—crashed in 2005, was to build command and control capability and contingency planning and implementation for the Security Council, because DPKO is really a force generator. It puts forces together and puts them out in the field and tries to manage that capability. It is not an operational headquarters, and although it has built capacity to try to fill that gap, it is not at a core level. It has 110,000 troops around the world. You need a significant capability to actually influence the battle. The Security Council doesn't have that. The secretariat has something.
Until the Security Council can command, control and influence its missions and its mandates, we will always be caught up in wondering what it really wants us to do and how far we can actually push it.
