INPROL Publications
Currently, there are two streams of INPROL publications: Research Memoranda; and Practitioners Guides.
A Research Memorandum is drafted in response to a member query posted on INPROL’s Rule of Law Forum or Police Forum. It draws upon member responses posted on the forums in response to the query, but is also the product of independent, high-quality research on the question at hand conducted by the INPROL Research Team. Formerly, Research Memoranda were called “Consolidated Responses”. Archived Consolidated Responses are included in the new website as Research Memoranda.
A Practitioner’s Guide is a primer on a specific rule of law issue or area. It seeks to provide an introduction and overview of this area, as well as distilling best practices and approaches, where relevant.

United Nations Peacekeeping Mandates
United Nations mandates provide the international framework for peacekeeping missions. Since 2000, the Security Council has dramatically increased the scope and breadth of mandates; expanding the activities military peacekeepers engage in on the ground and expanding the civilian component of missions. Peacekeeping missions are now asked to undertake a wide variety of mandated tasks: minimize ongoing conflicts; enforcing peace agreements; laying the foundation for peacebuilding; and supporting the political process. This Consolidated Response looks at the various tasks now mandated to peacekeeping missions and how these tasks are implemented on the ground.
