Abstract
For decades, the involvement of United Nations (UN) member states in peacekeeping operations (PKO) has been generally associated with developed Western countries’ contributions.1 Since the end of Cold War however, there has been an increasing number of small and developing countries in the activities of PKO worldwide. Even in 1964 a former Danish minister of foreign affairs, Per Hackkerup, acknowledged the increasing importance of small and developing countries in the UN-sponsored PKO. He noted that “small countries have vital stake in supporting the United Nations so that it becomes an effective instrument of the international rule of law.”2
