Individuals from over 110 nations have been called on to deploy to areas around the globe to maintain the peace among former warring factions and nations (United Nations Department of Public Information [UNDPI], 2001a). TheUnited Nations (UN) has participated in over 50 peacekeeping operations in all parts of the world since 1948, and the prevalence and importance of peacekeeping missions show no signs of abating. In 2001 alone, the UN deployed47,000 personnel in support of 15 peacekeeping missions (UNDPI, 2001a), and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) has continued to devote significant resources to peacekeeping operations, including 21,000 troops to Bosnia-Herzegovina (NATO On-line Library, 2000) and 38,000 troops to Kosovo (Piatt, 2002).
