Post Conflict Demobilization

How many of the folks that graduate from UN programs like this in post-conflict countries return to fighting if it breaks out? How easily do they slip back into fighting in still unstable areas?

More importantly, how many go on to be leaders in their communities when it comes to reconciliation and development?

This is one of the places the UN actually does a good job, along with peace keeping. It would cost the US twice as much as the UN to maintain any given peacekeeping mission around the world. It's a very good investment.

I've got a few PDF's in the pipeline on this topic, if I ever get to them!
