2. There is an interesting debate ongoing on the application of the postmodern concept to the military. See for example Morgan (Citation2003).
3. According to Fabian's (Citation1971) ‘Soldiers without Enemies’, the United Nations Special Committee on the Balkans (UNSCOB) to investigate communist nations’ intrusion on the Greek territory should be the first UN peacekeeping mission, but this mission is not included in the United Nations’ official data any more (Segal, 1995).
4. Recent missions have led to a reevaluation of the application of the principle of impartiality in peacekeeping operations. See Donald (Citation2003).
