“…Although the UN's peacekeeping experience during the Cold War was richer and more varied than is often assumed, that experience did not lead to a fundamental questioning or re-examination of those principles. Indeed, even some of the most "painful peacekeeping" of the Cold War era-in the Congo in the early 1960s and South Lebanon between 1978 and 1982-were seen, in the final analysis, as a vindication of their importance (James 1983).…”

IntroductIonThe use and utility of military force have been central, if sometimes underlying and unarticulated, themes in discussions about the purposes, practices, and, indeed, the very identity of United Nations peacekeeping since its inception. The precise historical and normative context within which those discussions have taken place has necessarily evolved over time. And yet, as the 2015 report of the High-Level Independent Panel on Peace Operations (HIPPO) makes clear, many of the key questions raised by the use of force in peacekeeping-be they of a practical or conceptual kind-are not fundamentally new (UN 2015). Chief among these is an overarching question that also frames and animates the present chapter, to wit, what are the limits to the use of force in UN peacekeeping? In approaching this question, the chapter and the arguments it advances have been divided into three closely connected parts. 1

Hvorfor bidro Norge med militaere styrker til United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) i 1978? Hvorfor trakk ikke Norge sine styrker ut da det viste seg at nordmennene ikke hadde noen mulighet til å oppfylle FNs mandat, og da situasjonen på bakken gikk fra vondt til verre og var direkte farlig for norsk militaert personell? Litteraturen rundt årsakene til at norske soldater ble sendt på FN-oppdrag, har vaert sentrert rundt to motiver: sikkerhetspolitiske egeninteresser og altruisme. Denne artikkelen analyserer hvordan disse to motivene kom til uttrykk vedrørende den norske deltakelsen i UNIFIL. Samtidig var det klart for norske myndigheter at de hadde et svaert begrenset handlingsrom i Libanon. Norges deltakelse skyldtes i utgangspunktet FNs saerstilling i norsk utenrikspolitikk. Avgjørelsen om å delta ble tatt på autopilot, men da soldatene først var i Libanon, oppfattet norske myndigheter at bordet fanget. FNstyrken ble en fast brikke ingen turte flytte på. De politiske omkostningene ved å trekke seg ut ble vurdert som for store, selv om situasjonen ble radikalt endret som en følge av den israelske invasjonen i 1982. Samtidig anså norske militaere ledere oppdraget som meningsløst.
