Professor Ray Murphy:

Yes. The Security Council reviews every year and gets reports. The Secretary General has regular reports. They are quite comprehensive. There is a standing UN committee on peacekeeping as well. It would depend on the regional organisation and coalition of the willing that would be established. The EU has quite a big bureaucratic structure – a peace and security committee, etc. I assume it would play a similar role in monitoring what is happening. But what if it is a NATO mission? I am not sure.
