    United Nations and the Restoration of Peace in Mali: Challenges and the Way Forward
    (Department of Political Science, Nasarawa State University Keffi, 2022-03-06) Eze, Chibuzor Johnson; Luka, Ruth Caleb; Arima, Monday
    Mali has been battling with violent insurgency since 2012 despite an agreement entered into between the government and the parties involved in the conflict. The varied perceptions of the nature of this conflict present a challenge in fashioning - out a proper solution to resolve it. This study investigated the role, as well as the challenges encountered by the United Nations in resolving the conflict. The study relied on Neo­ liberal Institutionalism as its theoretical underpinning to explain how the United Nations performed its primary role of maintaining collective security arrangement among its members, and in this case, resolving the conflict in Mali. To empirically verify the crucial roles played by the UN in resolving the crisis, secondary data were sourced from official documents of the United Nations, textbooks, journal articles and other relevant materials. One of the major findings of this study reveals that effective implementation of the Bamako Agreement was hampered by the inability of the political class in Mali to mobilize the people to make contributions towards its implementation process at the local, regional, and national levels. Based on the foregoing, the study recommends that the African Union, in collaboration with the Government of Mali, should reach out to the leaders of the jihadist groups to commence a process that moves progressively towards peaceful conflict resolution.
