Over 100.000 metric tons was distributed under the flag of the United Nations Protection Force (UNPROFOR). Although the mission was highly succesfull, scholarly attention has almost exclusively been paid to the failures of UNPROFOR, most notably the fall of Srebrenica. This thesis draws attention to the more succesfull aspect of the mission: the delivery of humanitarian aid. It focusses on the Dutch-Belgian transportbattalion and its threefold mission: i) to secure the delivery of humanitarian aid, ii) to reduce the human rights violations and iii) to create conditions in which a political solution for the conflict could be reached.Show less
