Abstract
This study examines various methods of financing peacekeeping missions and suggests mission funding appropriate to the conflict type and location. The financing of peacekeeping missions can take a number of forms, of which six mechanisms are examined in this paper. These include the traditional United Nations mission, alliance, coalition, independent, UN Trust Fund, and resource‐tax funded peacekeeping missions. The paper also provides a peacekeeping funding table that can be used to assist in the determination of the appropriate peacekeeping funding mechanism. A case study of peacekeeping financing in Haiti is presented.
