THE WEEK, Page 14WORLDAnd Who Will Pay?
Despite budget woes, the U.N. plans to send troops to Mozambique
As if its unprecedented commitments in Bosnia, Somalia and
Cambodia weren't enough, the United Nations has now authorized
the creation of a 7,500-strong peacekeeping force for
Mozambique. The intent is to stabilize the African country by
supervising an agreement to end 14 years of civil war, disarming
rival factions and organizing an election. One small problem:
although $330 million has been earmarked for the operation, the
cash is not yet in the coffers and, given the woeful state of
the U.N.'s balance sheets, no one quite knows where the money
will come from. The new force will bring the number of
blue-helmeted troops deployed around the world to 60,000.
