The introduction of a West African regional peacekeeping force into the Liberian civil war in August 1990 effectively catapulted this "obscure" conflict on to the centre stage of international diplomacy. By 1993, when the UN began a direct involvement in the conflict, Liberia had become a test case for the ability of regional organizations and the UN to jointly mediate armed conflict. The objective of this study is to examine the contributions of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) to the resolution of the Liberian conflict through the initiation and implementation of a programme of disarmament.
