A UN Rapid Response Police Force Even after the Security Council makes the decision to deploy peacekeeping or peace enforcement missions, it now takes between three and six months on average for the troops to arrive and begin their mission. In contrast, it takes much less time to carry out genocide and mass murder: in Rwanda it took only six weeks to kill at least 800,000 innocent civilians. And once troops arrive, they are most often under-equipped, under-trained, under-staffed and under-funded. In most circumstances, they have never trained together, do not speak the same languages, do not have the same operational procedures, do not use the same military and communications equipment, do not have the equipment and personnel necessary to carry out the mission, and often have been denied permission to take aggressive actions to protect civilians. The United Nations needs a well-trained military force capable of deploying within days or weeks, not months. One option for creating such a force is being explored already at the United Nations. Several European countries have put forward proposals to reserve stand-by forces for rapid deployment in UN peacekeeping missions, which would reduce the time delays it now faces because of slow contributions by Member States. The creation of such a force is provided for in Articles 43 and 48 of the U.N. Charter. However, these stand-by forces would still be provided from national militaries and therefore would not receive standardized training in both military and police functions of peacekeeping, use common communications equipment, or employ the same weapons systems. "At present it is as if when a fire breaks out, we must first build a fire station to respond. Rapid deployment can prevent enormous agony, and we must continue to work with member states to reduce the time it takes for the U.N. to put peacekeepers in the field." - UN Secretary General Kofi Annan, February 11, 2000 A second option would be to create a standing rapid reaction force under the authority of the United Nations Security Council. This force could consist of volunteers who receive common training in both military and police functions and operate with common procedures, equipment, and weapons systems. This force would be far more effective than current peacekeeping arrangements, and Member States likely would be more willing to use it when necessary because none of their militaries' troops would be deployed.

This is especially true if they were told there was an outside threat from beyond, whether real or promulgated, that threatened our very existence. It is then that all peoples of the world will plead with world leaders to deliver them from this evil, The one thing every man fears is the unknown. When presented with this scenario, individual rights will be willingly relinquished for the guarantee of their well being granted to them by their world government." -Henry Kissinger in an address to the Bilderberger organization meeting at Evian, France, May 21, 1992. Transcribed from a tape recording made by one of the Swiss delegates.
