What we need is to get the Security Council to vote on a resolution putting Iraq under a UN Mandate, as it was done when the UN Mission in Bosnia and Herzegovina was established in 1995. The UN Mandate will put Iraq under UN governance and security, until such time as Iraq is ready to elect a government.
The US would withdraw its troops immediately upon the UN administration being installed in Baghdad, and international peacekeepers from neutral countries assume security duties.
End of the war. No more casualties!
Troops will be home NLT Thanksgiving!
UN Mission in Bosnia and Herzegovina On December 21, 1995, the United Nations Security Council passed Resolution 1035, setting up the UN International Police Task Force and a UN Civil Affairs Office. These were brought together as the UN Mission in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The UN Mission (UNMIBH) was created to help implement the General Framework Agreement for Peace in Bosnia and Herzegovina (also referred to as the as the Dayton-Paris Agreement). It was "under the authority of the Secretary-General and subject to coordination and guidance as appropriate" of the High Representative in Bosnia and Herzegovina appointed to oversee the Agreement’s implementation.
On December 31, 2002, the UN Mission in Bosnia and Herzegovina completed its mandate. The European Union Police Mission (EUPM) assumed international police monitoring duties in Bosnia and Herzegovina on January 1, 2003.
The International Police Task Force has reformed and restructured local police personnel and organizations in Bosnia and Herzegovina, reducing the bloated local police forces from over 40,000 personnel in 1996 to approximately 20,000 today. Through this process, the UN has also de-certified officers who were without proper training or education and those who participated in war crimes or other violations of the law. In addition, the UN worked to improve recruitment of officers from minority groups within the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina and the Republika Srpska and mentored local police in leadership positions.
