Military assistance — Military matters — Peace keeping

This chapter provides an overview of the financial system that has been established regarding the financing of operations, mostly within a multinational framework. States have their own modalities for securing funding when entering into an operational framework. Simultaneously, States in the last century have seen the value in moving forward with multinational coalitions, at times formed with the modalities of international organizations. However, this development was not always foreseen by all international organizations; at times, some struggled to cover the needs of an operation. Moreover, while certain rules have been developed for the funding of approved operations within an international framework, the responsibilities and control that the Member States give over to the organization is also different from one organization to the next.
