Peacekeeping Operations by United Nations in Partnership with a Sub-regional Organisation: Experiment in Liberia 1993–98
Liberia has witnessed intense internal strife, conflicts and total breakdown of law and order in the past.

Though there are obvious advantages of regional groupings taking such initiatives there are numerous nuances which emerge when such organisations operate together.
