Some days ago, we bought this book at the Mexican Navy Center for Higher Studies.
Introduction to Peacekeeping Operations, Author: Alfonso J. Motta Allen
The author, a former Mexican Navy officer and Dalhousie University PhD. in International Relations, is a well regarded expert in National Security and United Nations Peacekeeping Operations (UNPKO).

Till next week.
MXSECURITY Staff.
I would like to ask about the implementation of peacekeeping operation in Mexico. Despite the statements of experts which denied the current situation of Mexico as a not armed conflict. I would like to say that we are in an armed conflict of non international character. According to case law, we already reached the level of organization and violence to fit in this criteria. If the people say that we arent, it is just because they do not know anything about International Humanitarian Law. Therefore, I could say that we can find a solution in this international framework.
