Abstract

This study examines International Organisations and Peace Building measures in Africa: A Study of United Nations Mission in Liberia (2015-2024). Specifically, the study investigates whether the United Nations Mission in Liberia (UNMIL) contributed to the security and stability of post-war Liberia, and if its Disarmament, Demobilization, Rehabilitation, and Reintegration (DDRR) programmes effectively reintegrated former combatants into Liberian society between 2003 and 2018. By adopting documentary method of data collection, liberal peace theory, and ex post facto research design, the study found that UNMIL significantly contributed to Liberia’s peace and security through democratic support, institutional rebuilding, and security sector reform. However, reintegration of ex-combatants remained incomplete due to economic hardship, stigmatization, and limited support after disarmament. The study therefore concludes and recommends, among others, that Liberia’s government should strengthen national security institutions, invest in vocational and psychosocial support programmes, and maintain international partnerships to sustain peace in the post-UNMIL era.
