1.0 BACKGROUND TO THESTUDY1.1 INTRODUCTION
A highly desired goal and desire of mankind is to be successful and being successful in this context is relative. Human sustainability cuts across all sphere(s) of human nature in order to attain full potentials. Peace keeping officers are humans sent out into conflict zones to dowse conflict and keep warring parties apart. In other words, humans are employed to dowse human ignited conflicts. These officers go to conflict zones and are exposed to some health problems from the conflict situation which they are engaged for. During the course of these operations human dignity is affected, both individually and collectively as a group or contingent forces. These overseas deployments have often involved a combination of personnel from the regular forces, reserves and civilian organizations. Therefore, in order to understand the nature of peacekeeping, a brief synopsis is key to this understanding.
