International organizations are relatively new entities in the international system, dating back to the second half of the nineteenth century.

In a July 2016 study published in the Journal of Conflict Management and Peace Science, researchers found that there is a correlation between the number and type (armed or unarmed) of PKO personnel and the duration of overall peace. The article states, “as the number of UN military troops deployed increases, the chance of civil war recurring decreases” (Hultman, Kathman and Shannon). Armed peacekeeping forces have a larger effect than unarmed troops. Additionally, “the effectiveness of post-conflict peacekeeping lies in the ability of PKOs to alleviate commitment problems through the deployment of military troops that are able to defend the peace” (Hultman, Kathman and Shannon). The “changing capacity” of missions over the course of the deployment of the PKOs can modify the traditional indicators of success of the deployment operation. This modification can result in variability in the commitment of deployed forces, and thus impact peace in the deployed
