| Abstract | This paper examines the Bougainville peacekeeping operation in Papua New Guinea from an Australian perspective as an unarmed peace operation, highlighting the challenges and impacts of community engagement, and the pivotal role of Bougainville women who were significant as unarmed civilians in negotiating peace. This paper's scope is largely on the experience of Australians as unarmed peace keepers, although the significant contribution of New Zealander, Fijian and ni-Vanuatu personnel is acknowledged, as is the agency of Bougainville people in facilitating peace. This highly successful peacekeeping operation was an unconventional one that linked civilians and the military in a demonstration that showed how unarmed civilian peacekeepers working beside their unarmed military counterparts could achieve success in a conflict zone by using their combined military and civilian skills to successfully facilitate conflict resolution and attitudinal change. |
