Compare and contrast the results of United Nations (UN) intervention in Congo and Mozambique.

Candidates will give an account of the similarities and differences between the results of United Nations (UN) intervention in Congo and in Mozambique, referring to both throughout. Candidates may refer to positive and negative results, or they may categorize the results in terms of their social, political and/or economic impact. Candidates may argue that the intervention in both countries was largely successful, largely a failure, or that one was more successful than the other. Both similarities and differences must be clearly indicated but there does not need to be an equal number of each. Similarities may include success in stabilising war-torn countries, maintaining their territorial integrity and providing humanitarian support. Differences may include the fact that Congo later returned to civil war while Mozambique remained peaceful, and the fact that the intervention in Congo was less successful, due in part to a lack of international support for the mission.
