Considering change in the international environment to signify cooperative security measures and peace operations under the name of humanitarian intervention, this study aims to address the rationale for the Asia-Pacific regional center for UN Peace Operation (UNPOC) on Jeju. In the study, which emphasizes the necessity of a UNPOC led by South Korea, it explains why South Korea, as a significant UN member state, needs to increase its role in peace operations. Pointing out the problems of peace operations mainly led by the military, it proposes that future peace operations call for more active participation by non-military sectors.
