Forty national and international organisations were surveyed through questionnaires, a review of relevant literature, and records.'n Ondersoek oor die gebruik van private sekuriteits-organisasies vir vredebewaring as ‘n alternatief vir die Verenigde Nasies (VN) word geloods. ‘n Telkaart vir buiteverkryging word ontwikkel. Die ondersoek is gedoen by veertig nasionale en internasionale instansies via vraelyste, relevante literatuur en rekords. Die ondersoek se aanduiding is dat die taakmag vir snelle ontplooiing van die VN steeds gebruik moet word tyd en wyl beleid en riglyne vir buiteverkryging van vredebewaring vasgelê is. Die navorsing toon dat buiteverkryging lewensvatbaar is met betekenisvolle kostebesparings vir die VN.enSouthern African Institute for Industrial EngineeringPeacekeepingSupport fuctionPeace-building -- United NationsContracting out -- United NationsPrivate security services -- United NationsArticle
