Material type: materialTypeLabelBookPublisher: U.S.I. Journal Description: 153(633), Jul-Sep, 2023: p.390-398.Subject(s): United Nations (UN) In: U.S.I. JournalSummary: One of the challenges of the current United Nations (UN) peace operations is the ‘mis and dis information’ campaign by the armed rebel groups as well as the not-so-friendly host states to malign the peace operations. Mis and disinformation undermine the trust of local communities, complicate negotiations, and even fuel conflict. This, in turn, besides placing the peacekeepers lives at risk, tends to alienate the local population. This article discusses how unchecked mis and disinformation campaign can adversely impact the performance of UN peace operations and transforms Blue Flag from a symbol of security into a target for attack. https://www.usiofindia.org/pdf/20231019144718.pdf
