Annan to present peacekeeping recommendations “within weeks”

    NAIROBI

    After also recommending the deployment of up to 500 military observers, Annan said he envisaged returning to the Security Council “within the next few weeks” with “recommendations and a proposed mandate and concept for the deployment of UN peacekeeping troops”. However, this would be “subject to further progress in the peace process”, he said in a report to the Council. The military observers, with a much broader mandate than the MLOs currently in place, might also require the deployment of UN “formed units” to ensure their protection, Annan stated.
