The thesis assesses the relationship between three variables; International Capacity, Local Capacity and Hostility and how it contributes to peacebuilding in Post-Conflict situation. This research has pointed out the U.N.’s failure to achieve its objectives in Sudan. It employs institutionalism as the theoretical framework to analyze the operations of institutions and particularly the U.N. in peacekeeping and peacebuilding efforts in the world. Thus, it takes note of peacekeeping interventions of the United Nations in Sudan by evaluating it, observing the challenges or difficulties being encountered and how this can be worked on through various means from the lessons learned. This is important because it will assist the United Nations in solving the Sudan crisis as well as other future reoccurrence in other parts of the world. To complete this study, the research has applied the Peacebuilding Triangle of Doyle and Sambinas to the case of Sudan. With this, the research will assess the three variables of the triangle relating them to Sudan and enable a critical examination to the reason for the continued crisis in Sudan and the inability of the UN to maintain a ceasefire till date. This study will explore the use of historical analysis for its findings as well as solutions based on other findings, affirmations and evidences on related U.N peacekeeping interventions with the use of primary sources such as official reports, agreements, protocols and secondary sources such as books and journal articles will be consulted.
