The theory has helped fuel the debate on the causes of war and peace, and according to Rosato, the Democratic Peace Theory is flawed (599). Furthermore, Rosato defines the theory as a post-World War II phenomenon, and therefore limits the temporal applicability (599). Explanations by Rosato of the peaceful interactions between democratic states involve the threat of the Soviet Union and the dominant power of the United States.

1.0 INTRODUCTION The Charter of the United Nations is the foundational treaty of the newly created intergovernmental organization that emerged from World War II. This international treaty sets out basic principles of international relations. The UN Charter is a relatively short treaty of less than 9,000 words.

restoration of sustainable peace after violent conflict remains one of the major challenges worth taking up in post-conflict peacebuilding. The analyses of multiple experiments at peacebuilding reveal frequent failures or mixed results at best (Dobbins et al. 2007; Paris, 2004; Duffield, 2007; Ismail, 2008). That is why Krause and Jutersonke (2005:448) concludes that “not only do about half of all peace support operations (including both peacekeeping and more expansive peace building operations) fail
