Upaya Meningkatkan Kecerdasan Budaya, Kompetensi Lintas Budaya dan Ketahanan bagi Peacekeeper dalam Misi Perdamaian PBB

Abstract

Until early 2021, there were 12 UN peace missions carried out under the Department of Peace Operations. However, not all peace missions that have been carried out by the United Nations have been successful. One example of a UN peacekeeping mission that was judged to have failed was the United Nations Operations in Somalia (UNOSOM) I (1992-1993) and II (1993II ( -1995 missions. One of the causes of the failure of the UNOSOM mission is because the mission cannot answer the challenges of cultural differences, both between peacekeepers and with locals. This research was conducted to elaborate efforts to increase cross cultural intelligence and resilience for peacekeepers and their families so that the missions that will be carried out by them in the future can produce better outcomes than before. This research used the qualitative research method. This study found that cultural intelligence and cross cultural competence are two important abilities that must be possessed by peacekeepers who work in different cultural environments. On the other hand, the potential for peacekeepers to be exposed to stress during assignments in conflict areas and the negative impacts that peacekeeper families may experience during their assignment also need to be a concern, both for the United Nations and peacekeeper sender countries. Both efforts to increase cultural intelligence, cross cultural competence to the resilience of peacekeepers and their families can be done through training. However, commitment and strong political will are needed from the relevant stakeholders so that these trainings can be carried out in a systematic, comprehensive, sustainable manner to support various peace missions that are still and will be carried out by the United Nations..
