1. What should the UN's relationship be with regional organizations with respect to peacekeeping? Should prior authorization by the UNSC be required before a regional organization launches a peacekeeping mission? Should regional peacekeeping missions function solely as an interim or holding force with the job of containing violence until a larger, more capable UN force arrives at which time it would either be folded into the UN force or be sent home? Should regional peacekeepers only work as part of a joint mission with the UN?
