This research explains why some countries do not contribute troops to UN missions, while others do. Through a data collection process specially developed for this purpose, it focuses on the analyses of each of the non-contributor country’s set of variables (motivations for not contributing) and their correlations that determine the level of participation in UN missions. This final project provides non-contributor country profiles on UN peacekeeping. The profiles are organized in seven groups depending on specific characteristics such as having defence forces and participating in non-UN peace operations. It also provides recommendations on how, when, and/or what type of support each of the non-contributor countries can and/or is willing to contribute to UN missions, in order to complement the efforts to achieve the Brahimi Report’s recommendations.
