If so, you will have noticed that it clearly highlights many arenas of conflict where the UN has gone in & brokered a peace deal, and then stayed around to make sure that the peace is lasting, and not just a temporary ceaefire.
So I think that did establish, in a practical fashion, that ...[text shortened]... East Timor, just in the last 20 years.
Slightly more than 5 (or 3 for that matter) there...
Over 3/4 of the countires listed are still fighting or have other issues that prevent peace in the area. Lebanon and the Golan are still firing rockets into Israel, Somalia and Ethiopia still fighting and I'm not even going to mention the Congo. The UN is a paper tiger and is just as worthless as teats on a bull.
