Note that there cannot be a UN peacekeeping operation without a Security Council approval.

When did the Security Council vote to approve a peacekeeping mission? Did the vote occur in a toilet or bathroom (which is why the media did not report it)? Who voted for and who voted against it?

Security Council resolution

If the Security Council determines that deploying a UN peace operation is the most appropriate step to take, it will formally authorize this by adopting a resolution. The resolution sets out the operation’s mandate and size, and details the tasks it will be responsible for performing. The budget and resources are then subject to General Assembly approval.

Where are the technical assessment teams, the diplomats, the experts? Who appointed them? When and where?

Technical field assessment

As soon as security conditions permit, the Secretariat usually deploys a technical assessment mission to the country or territory where the deployment of a UN peace operation is envisaged. The assessment mission analyzes and assesses the overall security, political, military, humanitarian and human rights situation on the ground, and its implications for a possible operation. Based on the findings and recommendations of the assessment mission, the UN Secretary-General will issue a report to the Security Council. This report will present options for the establishment of a peace operation as appropriate including its size and resources. The report will also include financial implications and statement of preliminary estimated costs.

Where are the talks, consultations, meetings? These talks, consultations and meetings were between who and who?

Initial consultation

As a conflict develops, worsens, or approaches resolution, the UN is frequently involved in a number of consultations to determine the best response by the international community. These consultations would likely involve:

All relevant United Nations actors
The potential host government and the parties on the ground
Member States, including States that might contribute troops and police to a peace operation
Regional and other intergovernmental organizations
Other relevant key external partners

During this initial phase the UN Secretary-General may request a strategic assessment to identify all possible options for UN engagement.

United Nations peacekeeping operations do not take place in a vacuum. UN member states strongly discourage the idea of peace enforcement. There is a huge difference between peacekeeping and peace enforcement.

Therefore there must have been a political process before there is a peacekeeping force. This political process must have led to peace accords. one of the main tasks of a UN peacekeeping force is to monitor the implementation of the accords. For example, the reason that there is a UN peacekeeping operation in South Sudan (and the reason that Nigerian troops are in South Sudan) is because of the 2018 South Sudan Peace Agreement (https://www.prio.org/publications/11333).

What peace agreement is there in Nigeria? Between who and who?

One of the most important principles of UN peacekeeping is that it must have the consent of the parties. This is to prevent it from having the kind of problem that Ecomog had (Ecomog only had the consent of one party when it entered Liberia). Who consented to a UN peacekeeping mission in Nigeria??

1. Consent of the parties

UN peacekeeping operations are deployed with the consent of the main parties to the conflict. This requires a commitment by the parties to a political process. Their acceptance of a peacekeeping operation provides the UN with the necessary freedom of action, both political and physical, to carry out its mandated tasks.

In the absence of such consent, a peacekeeping operation risks becoming a party to the conflict; and being drawn towards enforcement action, and away from its fundamental role of keeping the peace.

The fact that the main parties have given their consent to the deployment of a United Nations peacekeeping operation does not necessarily imply or guarantee that there will also be consent at the local level, particularly if the main parties are internally divided or have weak command and control systems. Universality of consent becomes even less probable in volatile settings, characterized by the presence of armed groups not under the control of any of the parties, or by the presence of other spoilers.[/b]

He clearly doesn't know what it takes to create a UN mission.

The Security Council must vote to approve the mission and this is not done in secret.

The host country must approve the mission.

A budget must be approved.

Do you think all this is done in secret?

Who are the troop contributing countries??

All these are planned months in advance.
