4.2: People, Place and Time
Deploy the Right People to the Right Place at the Right Time. Other Information:
Peacekeeping, barely imagined at the time of the UN’s founding, now comprises 15 missions and 120,000 personnel. An increasing
number of humanitarian disasters every year strains the capacity of the UN’s response system. The need for electoral and constitutional
assistance has surged after the “Arab Spring.” Yet deployment of expert staff to crises takes too long. Specific solutions
have been proposed (e.g., the Civilian Capacity Review, an initiative similar to the Administration’s Civilian Response Corps,
to ensure that relevant civilian experts can be deployed where needed on short notice) and the United States will press for
key measures to be implemented.
